Ovarian cyst 86x74 mm chances of keyhole surgery?

Hi 

I have recently been diagnosed with a large ovarian cyst on my left ovary, I know it is going to have to be removed but was wondering if anyone has had one a similar size removed via keyhole? 

The cyst has mild septation and dark thickening but I am advised it is likely to be benign. 

Also has anyone got any tips to prepare for the surgery and recovery? 

thanks 

  • Hi J_b485,

    I wanted to send a reply to your post to give it a little boost, so a few more people should see it and hopefully you'll get more replies, particularly if others with similar experience see it.

    You may also want to have a chat with our nurses about this as they should be able to advise on your questions. If you'd like to do this, you can either post in the 'Ask the Nurses' section of this forum, or you can call freephone 0808 800 4040 - Monday-Friday, 9-5.

    Wishing you all the best,
