How is Cyst Removal Surgery Performed?

In some cases, the cysts are not necessarily removed as they may cause no harm. The doctor might prefer some other treatments. However, if the cysts are to be removed, the following procedure is performed.

Firstly, the surgeon marks the area from where the cysts are removed and numbs the particular area using general anesthesia. The surgeon then makes a small incision to either drain or remove the sac of cells. Either way, the surgeon stitches the area from where the cysts are pulled out. These stitches remain for two months. The skin then heals from the inside leaving a small scar on the skin.

Laparoscopy: In this procedure, the surgeon makes small incisions using a scalpel and pulls the cysts out with the help of an instrument called a laparoscope. The laparoscope consists of a camera and light at the end of the instrument. It helps in viewing the cysts while they are removed.
