What option is better for a 10cm complex cyst. open incision (like c section) or is a laparoscopic surgery safe? i need a 10cm and 4cm cyst removed.

Laparscopic surgeon: A Laparoscopy in the hands of a skilled surgeon who does this all the time is the preferred approach to ovarian cyst management unless there is a concern for the presence of carcinoma.
