Is surgery effective for treating ovarian cysts?

Ovarian cyst is a relatively common gynecological disease. It can cause a lot of harm to a girl's body. Once discovered, it is best to treat it with some effective methods to try to reduce the harm it causes to the female body. Surgery is still effective in treating ovarian cysts. Let us learn about some methods of surgical treatment of ovarian cysts.

① Ovarian cystectomy: Most of these patients have no menstrual disorders, and some even have complicated pregnancy. If the tumor is more obvious on one side, a salpingo-oophorectomy on the affected side can be performed.

② Salpingo-oophorectomy for unilateral ovarian cysts. For bilateral ovarian cysts occurring in older patients (over 45 years old), unilateral or bilateral oophorectomy is usually performed. Patients who are not fit for surgery due to general condition or have severe inflammation often undergo total hysterectomy. It is worth noting that for the surgical treatment of larger ovarian cysts, the size of the incision should not be taken into account, and complete removal is appropriate to avoid disrupting the patient's pulse and causing the contents to overflow into the abdominal cavity or incision.

③ Adnexectomy and total hysterectomy occurs in perimenopausal or postmenopausal women with unilateral or bilateral ovarian cysts. If the patient's general condition is not suitable for the surgery, bilateral adnexectomy and total hysterectomy are appropriate, but it will seriously affect endocrine disorders.

2. Surgical treatment of malignant ovarian cysts

Most patients are in the late stage when they seek medical treatment, so every effort should be made to remove the primary cyst and any visible pelvic and abdominal metastases. Because malignant ovarian cysts are often adhered or infiltrated with the uterus and adnexa, and are closely attached to the pelvic peritoneum, the uterus and tumor are often removed in one piece, such as by rolling carpet or dumpling-like removal of the greater omentum, partial intestinal resection, partial bladder and ureter resection. For ovarian malignant tumors complicated with ascites, regardless of whether they are completely removed or not, it is advisable to place a catheter in the abdominal cavity to facilitate postoperative intraperitoneal injection of anticancer drugs or radioactive colloidal gold or colloidal phosphorus.

It is best for female friends to go to the hospital for gynecological examinations regularly. It is best to detect ovarian cysts in the early stages and treat them with medication in a timely manner. Once ovarian cysts are found to be worsening or cancerous, a more professional hospital should be chosen for treatment in a timely manner.
