Introduction
In general, ovarian cyst puncture is used to determine the nature of the cyst before surgery, or to aspirate fluid from large cysts that are not suitable for minimally invasive surgery, thereby reducing the cyst size and facilitating subsequent minimally invasive treatment. The specific procedure is as follows:
1. Under ultrasound guidance, identify the puncture site and administer local anesthesia.
2. Disinfect the skin at the puncture site and drape with sterile towels.
Generally, ovarian cyst puncture is used to determine the nature of a cyst before surgery, or to reduce the size of a large cyst that is not suitable for minimally invasive surgery. By draining fluid prior to surgery, the cyst becomes smaller and thus amenable to minimally invasive treatment. The specific procedure is as follows:
1. Determine the puncture site under ultrasound monitoring and administer local anesthesia.
2. Disinfect the skin at the puncture site and drape with sterile towels.
3. Under ultrasound guidance, insert a trocar needle into the deepest fluid-filled area of the cyst to aspirate the cystic fluid.
4. After the cyst has reduced in size, inject a sclerosing agent to destroy the cyst lining.
5. After completing the puncture, apply pressure to the puncture site for 5–10 minutes to prevent bleeding.
If cyst puncture is required, it is recommended to visit a正规 hospital and have the procedure performed under the guidance of a qualified physician to minimize surgical risks. After the procedure, get adequate rest, maintain healthy lifestyle habits, and avoid spicy or irritating foods to promote recovery.
