It is usually done as an outpatient procedure. I had a laparoscopy done in 2005 to remove/drain an 8.1cm x 7.7cm ovarian cyst on my left ovary and another laparoscopy done in 2007 to diagnose and treat endometriosis and remove another cyst (4.6cm) on my left ovary.
I went in early in the morning (7:00am), had my surgery just after 9:00am and was discharged from the hospital around 2:00pm that afternoon.
I would recommend that you discuss your surgery with your doctor/gynaecologist and ask them to answer any questions that you may have.
Good luck
That’s a big cyst, watch it carefully if the pain gets too severe go right to ER. don’t wait for your surgery or your appointment Your ovary could twist.
That being said, even an ovary removal can be same day…depends on what they find, and your physical condition.
