A member asked:

Hi doc! i'm due to have surgery this friday with a removal of a dermoid cyst aprrox. 14 cm and i'm in my 2nd trimester. what's the recovery time?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

A couple weeks: I'm assuming at 14cm they are doing a laparotomy, so typically you'll be in the hospital a couple days up to 3 typically. Full recovery will likely take 6 weeks, but you will feel much better typically by 2 weeks out.
