Depends.: Most obstetricians will not mess with the highly vascular ovaries at the time of a cesarean section however some exceptions exist and depend on size, adhesions, vascularity of the cyst as well as your age, consent, desire. You should discuss this with your doctor in detail ahead of time - don't wait until the time of delivery. Most cases are observed or removed >6 weeks postpartum laparoscopically.

Yes.: It is possible to remove ovarian cyst with c-section. Be sure to check with your OB doctor. Many ovarian cysts resolve on their own.
