Dr. Sonu Singh is an experienced Obstetrician & Gynaecologist specializing in advanced gynaecological laparoscopy and ovarian cyst surgery in Lucknow. With experience of performing 5,000+ complex gynaecological endoscopic surgeries, she provides individualized surgical care for women with ovarian cysts.
Surgery is considered only when appropriate, based on the type, size, appearance, symptoms and other clinical factors associated with the cyst.
What Is Ovarian Cyst Surgery?
Ovarian cyst surgery is a procedure to remove an ovarian cyst when surgery is considered medically necessary.
For suitable patients, the cyst may be removed using laparoscopic surgery, which involves small abdominal incisions and specialized surgical instruments. The choice of procedure depends on the cyst and the patient's overall condition.
Dr. Sonu Singh emphasizes conservative, fertility-preserving techniques to maintain ovarian reserve whenever surgery is required.
When May Ovarian Cyst Surgery Be Recommended?
Surgery may be considered when an ovarian cyst:
Persistent Pelvic Pain
Causes persistent pelvic or abdominal pain, deep ache, or sharp pain during movement or intercourse.
Large or Growing Cyst
Is large (often > 5-6 cm) or shows progressive enlargement on serial ultrasound scans over time.
Complex Ultrasound Features
Has a complex, multi-loculated, thick-walled, or concerning appearance on ultrasound or pelvic MRI.
Non-Resolving Cyst
Does not resolve with observation when expected across 2-3 consecutive menstrual cycles.
Pressure & Bulk Symptoms
Causes pressure or other symptoms such as urinary frequency, pelvic heaviness, or bowel discomfort.
Endometrioma (Chocolate Cyst)
Is associated with endometriosis, causing inflammatory damage and pelvic adhesions that threaten fertility.
Requires Further Clinical Evaluation
Requires definitive histopathological diagnosis or surgical evaluation based on imaging, tumour markers, or clinical findings.
Not every ovarian cyst requires surgery. Many cysts can be monitored and may resolve without treatment.
Laparoscopic Ovarian Cyst Surgery
When laparoscopic surgery is appropriate, a small camera and specialized instruments are used through small abdominal incisions to access the ovary.
The aim is to treat the cyst while preserving as much healthy ovarian tissue as reasonably possible, particularly in women who wish to preserve their fertility. The surgical approach depends on the type and characteristics of the cyst.
Delicate Tissue Preservation
Microscopic dissection minimizes collateral thermal injury, saving primordial egg follicles for natural conception.
Smooth, Rapid Recovery
Most patients are discharged within 24 hours with minimal discomfort and quick resumption of daily activities.
Types of Cysts Managed Laparoscopically
- Endometriomas: Chocolate cysts treated with precise stripping and adhesiolysis.
- Dermoid Cysts: Teratomas excised intact in endo-bags to avoid pelvic spillage.
- Serous / Mucinous Cystadenomas: Enucleated with complete capsule removal.
- Hemorrhagic / Persistent Cysts: Carefully evaluated and treated when symptomatic.
Ovarian Cyst Surgery & Fertility
Some ovarian cysts can affect fertility, while surgery itself may also affect ovarian tissue depending on the type and extent of the cyst.
For women who wish to become pregnant, the decision to operate should therefore consider age, ovarian reserve (AMH), cyst type, symptoms and fertility plans.
Dr. Sonu Singh evaluates these factors before recommending surgery, ensuring that each patient receives personalized guidance balancing symptom relief with ovarian reserve protection.
AMH & Ovarian Reserve
Pre-operative assessment of follicular reserve before making surgical decisions.Bipolar/Thermal Minimization

Personalized alignment with natural conception plans or assisted reproductive therapy (IVF).
