Chocolate cyst removal surgery

Chocolate cyst is what we call endometriosis. A normal woman's endometrium exists in the uterus to have normal fertility, and chocolate cyst will appear if endometriosis occurs. Chocolate cysts can compress women's fallopian tubes, so they must be treated promptly. The main method of treating chocolate cysts is surgical removal, so what is the process of surgical removal of chocolate cysts?

Experts pointed out that the most commonly used surgical treatments in clinical practice include ipsilateral oophorectomy and cystectomy, and both surgical methods are performed through laparoscopy, which causes relatively little trauma to the body. However, some patients with more serious conditions need to undergo open surgery. The specific choice of surgical treatment by the patient should be considered based on his or her actual situation, such as comprehensive evaluation based on age, cyst size, and fertility needs.

1. If the patient has fertility requirements and is young, the surgical method that can be used for treatment is cystectomy. During the specific operation, the cyst will be separated from the ovarian tissue to help the patient retain the normal local ovarian tissue to the greatest extent and try not to affect the future reproductive function. However, it should be noted that chocolate cyst is a disease whose cause is related to the estrogen level in women. Therefore, although this surgical treatment preserves ovarian function, the chance of recurrence of this surgical method is also very high.

2. If the patient has no fertility requirements or is older, or the cyst is large and difficult to remove, or there are symptoms such as severe pelvic adnexal adhesions, treatment with an oophorectomy on the affected side is usually required. Although this surgical method of removing one or both ovaries will affect fertility, the chance of recurrence after surgery is much lower than that of cystectomy.

The above is the surgical treatment of chocolate cyst introduced to you today. I hope that patients and friends will have a new understanding of the treatment of this disease after reading it. Finally, I want to remind everyone that when treating with surgery, you must choose a regular hospital to ensure the most accurate diagnosis and treatment effects, so as to get rid of the troubles of this disease as soon as possible.
