A member asked:

Can an ovarian baning cyst be removed without removing the ovary 4, 1x3, 7 x3, 7cm?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Surgeon will try: Your surgeon will try to remove the cyst without removing the ovary, but that'll depend on size, blood supply and location. Sometimes they don't know what will happen until they go in there and look. But i'd ask your surgeon on the chances of leaving the ovary.
