A member asked:

How long does it take to recover from an ovarian cyst removal surgery?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Usually a day or two: Ovarian cysts are sometimes removed surgically, usually with laparoscopy. This involves inserting instruments through 1/4 inch incisions. Recovery time from laparoscopic surgery is usually only a couple of days.
