Surgery is
indicated when ovarian
cysts
grow indefinitely, create pressure on the urinary
bladder or other vital organs that are located within
the pelvic area. Surgery is also often prescribed when
there is a risk of a sudden rupture. Suspected malignant
cysts are also often asked to be removed through
surgery.
Even
though all these can be achieved through open surgery,
laparoscopic
surgery is
much in demand now because it involves lesser
post-operative complications, it is less painful and
requires lesser hospital stay. Also, patients who wish
to preserve their reproductive organs while going
through the surgical operation naturally prefer a least
aggressive therapy by choosing laparoscopic
surgery.
However,
not everyone is fit for laparoscopic
surgery. In
fact, it depends on the person's age, pelvic condition,
appropriate sonographic images as well as serum markers.
For instance, a bulky, solid, fixed or asymmetrical mass
accompanied by ascites, which is suspected to be
malignant, is not suitable for laparoscopic
intervention. Moreover, prior to selecting any case for
laparoscopy, Ca-125 which is an ovarian cancer marker
should be
estimated.
Here are some of the limitations of
laparoscopy.
·
Non-availability of 3-dimensional vision which
decreases depth
perception
·
Absence of tactile sense, which is a key element
in detecting
malignancies
·
Maximum dependence on surgical instruments and
their proficiency
· There is an increased risk of cyst rupture
No matter what kind of surgery you are opting for, laparoscopic or otherwise, the best cyst removal procedure is not through surgery. That is because, the cyst often comes back even after surgery. What the surgery is doing is that, it is just removing the cyst, but the contributing factors that caused the cyst remains. They can be removed through holistic remedies and not even through a natural remedy for ovarian cyst . Thus once the contributing factors go away with holistic remedies, the cyst never comes back again.
