What is involved with removing ovarian cysts surgically?

Since most cysts resolve on their own, surgery is most often not needed. But if further problems develop that would affect the health of the ovary, then open surgery which is a longer recovery time can be done or the less invasive laparoscopic surgery is available with just a small incision below the navel.
