When an ovarian growth or cyst needs to be closely looked at, a surgeon can do so through a small incision using Laparoscopy or through a larger abdominal incision (laparotomy). Either type of surgery can be used to diagnose problems such as ovarian cysts, adhesion fibroids and pelvic infection. But if there is any concern about cancer, you may have a laparotomy. It gives the best view of the abdominal organs and the female pelvic organs. Then, if the doctor finds ovarian cancer, he or she can safely remove it.
During surgery, a noncancerous cyst that is causing symptoms can be removed (cystectomy), leaving the ovary intact.
In some cases, the entire ovary or both ovaries are removed, particularly when cancer is found.
