How to perform surgery on ovarian cysts

When the ovarian cyst is more serious, surgical treatment is required. For example, the most common one is ovarian cystectomy, which is the surgical removal of the cyst. After the surgical treatment, you should also strengthen good prevention and health care. You cannot sit for a long time after the operation. You should recuperate your body, eat more alkaline foods, eat more fruits and vegetables, and keep the wound clean to avoid wound infection.

1. The patient lies in supine position with the head down and the feet up, and routine three-point puncture, endoscope placement and exploration are performed, paying attention to whether there is adhesion on the affected ovary and the condition of the contralateral ovary and uterus.

Routinely collect peritoneal fluid or washing fluid for cytological examination.

Expose the ovaries in front of the uterus. Usually, it is necessary to use a probing stick to carefully lift the ovary and cyst along the inner side of the ovary and along the posterior lobe of the broad ligament to the outside and upward, allowing the uterus to naturally sink to the back and the ovary to be located in front of the uterus for easy operation.

If the cyst is larger than 10 cm, it is usually necessary to first place a loop on the intended puncture site, and then use a long needle to connect the suction tube to suck out the fluid inside after insertion. After completion, pull out the needle and use separation forceps to clamp the puncture hole and lift the cyst wall, and tighten the loop to prevent the remaining cystic fluid from leaking out.

2. When cutting open the normal ovary on the surface of the cyst, it is usually necessary to avoid the vascular area and use the water injection method to separate the cyst surface capsule, or after electrocoagulation or direct cutting. Generally, a small incision is made first, and the curved scissors are used with the curved side facing up or outwards, and the cysts are separated one by one along the gaps and then cut open. After more than half a week, the operator and the assistant each hold a pair of separation forceps, clamp one side edge respectively, and tear the surface capsule of the cyst in opposite directions. Generally, the complete cyst can be removed. You can also use a probe to separate the cyst toward the normal ovarian tissue after cutting it open for more than half a circle. If it is difficult to separate, you can use scissors to enlarge the incision, and the cyst can usually be completely removed.

3. Stop bleeding from the residual ovarian wound: Use bipolar or monopolar electrocoagulation to treat active bleeding from the wound.

4. Trim excess capsular tissue to shape the remaining normal ovary. Generally, after clamping the periphery with bipolar electrocoagulation forceps and electrocoagulating, the tissue will shrink toward the center and the wound surface will be reduced. Generally, sutures are not performed because they increase postoperative adhesions. The eschar membrane caused by electrocoagulation is helpful in preventing adhesion after surgery.

5. Flush the pelvis thoroughly and check for active bleeding;

6. Other steps are the same as the previous routine surgery.
