Laparoscopic Ovarian Cyst Excision
Most ovarian cysts aren’t a big deal. But when they are, we deal with them.
If a cyst is causing ongoing pain, pressure, bloating, or cycle changes and it’s not going away on its own, surgery may be the right next step. At Balance Medical in Bismarck, we use minimally invasive laparoscopy to remove problematic cysts while protecting healthy ovarian tissue whenever possible. We confirm what’s actually going on first. Then we talk through options. And if surgery makes sense, we handle it.

What Is Laparoscopic Ovarian Cyst Excision?
Laparoscopic ovarian cyst excision is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to remove cysts from one or both ovaries while preserving as much healthy ovarian tissue as possible. Using small incisions, the surgeon removes the cyst through laparoscopy. This approach results in less pain, shorter recovery time, and smaller scars compared to traditional surgery. Cyst excision may be recommended for women who experience persistent pain, have large or complex cysts, or face fertility concerns related to ovarian cysts.
Why You Might Benefit from Laparoscopic Ovarian Cyst Excision
Although many ovarian cysts resolve on their own, surgery may be beneficial if you:
- Experience pelvic pain, bloating, or pressure that affects your quality of life
- Have large, persistent, or complex cysts noticed during imaging screenings
- Face irregular menstrual cycles or other symptoms linked to cysts
- Are concerned about complications such as cyst rupture or torsion
- Are working with your provider to support fertility
