A member asked:
What is recovery time after surgery to remove a dermoid cyst?
8 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Varies: If the removal is done by laparoscopy then recovery would usually be one or two "down days", but if laparotomy (a larger incision on the abdomen) is performed then expect to not feel great for about a week or two.

Where is it?: Treatment for dermoid cyst is complete surgical removal, preferably in one piece and without any spillage of cyst contents. Recovery is based on where the cyst is located.
