23cm ovarian cyst and right ovary removal

Hi all I have surgery booked next Friday to have my right ovary removed as I have a cyst that is 23cm just wondering what the surgery is like recovery time and where the incision is made

  • Hello166ytink, 

    I just wanted to welcome you to our forum and I hope that you will hear from some of our ladies here who have had an ovarian cyst removed as well as surgery to remove their ovary. I thought I would mention to you this thread for example by [@Rachel12]‍ who had a dermoid cyst in August and had her ovary removed. It helps to talk to others who have been in a similar position before. 

    Should you wish to talk more in detail about the surgery for example to someone, feel free to give our nurses a call on this free number 0808 800 4040 - their line is open Monday to Friday from 9am to 5pm. I am sure they will be happy to answer any questions you may have on this procedure. 

    I hope that everything goes well for you and that you have a speedy recovery. 

    Best wishes,
