Is interventional surgery or laparoscopy better for ovarian cysts?

Laparoscopy refers to laparoscopic surgery. If the ovarian cyst is small, it is better to perform interventional surgery, but if the ovarian cyst is large, it is better to perform laparoscopic surgery. It is recommended to seek medical treatment in time, and the doctor will make an appropriate surgical plan according to the specific situation. The specific analysis is as follows:

1. Interventional surgery: When the ovarian cyst is small, usually less than 5 cm, it is better to perform interventional surgery. Interventional surgery usually injects drugs or embolic agents into the blood vessels supplying the ovarian cyst through a catheter, causing the cyst to gradually shrink and necrotize, thereby achieving the purpose of treatment. Smaller cysts are easier to accurately locate and operate through interventional surgery, thereby reducing damage to surrounding tissues. For some elderly and frail patients who cannot tolerate open surgery, interventional surgery is a better choice. These patients may have multiple underlying diseases, and interventional surgery is less traumatic, with faster recovery and lower risks.

2. Laparoscopic surgery: For larger cysts or complex cysts, such as those with lining or polycystic ovary syndrome, laparoscopic surgery can provide a more direct field of view and operating space, and can treat each cyst one by one while preserving normal ovarian tissue. In this case, laparoscopic surgery is better, which can more thoroughly remove the cyst wall and reduce the possibility of recurrence. In contrast, interventional surgery usually can only shrink the cyst, but cannot completely remove the cyst wall, so there may be a risk of recurrence.

In daily life, pay attention to a healthy diet, adjust your work and rest habits, and exercise appropriately to enhance your resistance and avoid the occurrence of discomfort symptoms.
