Laparoscopic Ovarian Cyst Surgery
Minimally invasive cyst removal in Kathmandu
What is Laparoscopic Cystectomy?
Laparoscopic cystectomy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure to remove ovarian cysts while preserving the healthy ovarian tissue. Unlike traditional open surgery, laparoscopy uses small incisions and a camera to guide the surgeon.
This approach offers significant advantages including less pain, faster recovery, smaller scars, and shorter hospital stay. At GyneNepal, Dr Rashmi Bastakoti specializes in laparoscopic ovarian cyst surgery in Kathmandu.
Key Fact: Laparoscopic cystectomy preserves the ovary whenever possible, maintaining fertility and hormonal function.

The Procedure
Step 1: Anesthesia

Step 2: Small Incisions
3-4 small incisions (5-10mm each) are made in the abdomen for the laparoscope and surgical instruments.
Step 3: Cyst Removal
The cyst is carefully separated from healthy ovarian tissue and removed through one of the incisions.
Step 4: Recovery
Incisions are closed with dissolvable stitches. Most patients go home the same day or after an overnight stay.
