Removal of an ovarian cyst,image 3 of 4. This endoscope view shows surgical instruments removing a cyst from an ovary. The cyst,an abnormal fluid- filled sac,is blue; the ovary is the partially- obscured white structure behind. Ovarian cysts are common in women of child-bearing age. Although rarely cancerous,they can cause pain or develop complications. If this is the case,they are removed,often by laparoscopic (keyhole) surgery,as here. For a sequence showing the removal of this cyst,see images M850/661-664 | |
