Laparoscopic oophorectomy and ovarian cystectomy are minimally invasive surgical procedures to remove ovarian cysts or ovaries, respectively, through small incisions in the abdomen. Laparoscopic cystectomy involves removing the cyst while preserving as much healthy ovarian tissue as possible, whereas laparoscopic oophorectomy involves removing the entire ovary, often along with the fallopian tube. These procedures are typically performed using a laparoscope (a small camera) and specialized instruments inserted through the incisions.
