Laparotomy (ovarian cysts)
Hello everyone!
I had chocolate cysts, endometriosis and tumor on my right ovary and it was removed during laparoscopy almost 8 years ago. Since then I was on Yasmin birth control pills, had a punctuation and was on Zoladex shots for sih months in order to save my left ovary, because I have cysts and endometriosis on it too. I stopped taking Yasmin pills year and a half ago in order to TTC, but nothing happened, so I wanted to try insemination, but my gyno said that I had one formal cyst and one endometric cyst and they are big, so the next step he sais is laparotomy and than In Vitro procedure.
So, my question is: Has anyone had experience with this kind of laparotomy, what kind of procedure is it and what about the healing process?
Thank you in advance!

Hi,
Laparotomy basically means an open surgery to remove the cyst. As the incision is larger than that of laparoscopy, the healing time required and the post operative recovery may be longer- up to 7 to 10 days.
Hope this helps.
