An ovarian laparotomy is open surgery through a cut in the abdomen to remove an ovarian cyst or mass, normally when it is very large, cancer is suspected or keyhole surgery is not possible.

Many ovarian cysts can be taken out through keyhole surgery, but Royal United Hospitals Bath NHS Foundation Trust points out that an open operation, through a midline or bikini-line cut, may be chosen for very large masses, suspected cancer or heavy scarring.

The operation may remove the mass, one or both ovaries and tubes, and sometimes the womb, lymph nodes and omentum, a fatty layer inside the abdomen.

The Bath leaflet describes a stay of three to five days, a return to work after four to six weeks or up to 12, and tissue results normally given 10 to 14 days later.

Risks include bleeding, infection, damage to nearby organs, blood clots and a later hernia, and removing both ovaries brings on an early menopause.

Flying home: UK Civil Aviation Authority medical guidance recommends no flights for 10 days following open abdominal surgery, which usually means about a fortnight in Gurgaon.

A Gurgaon quote for ovarian laparotomy is normally made up of these items:

• Pre-operative tests: blood work, imaging and an anaesthetic assessment.
• Theatre and anaesthesia charges: mostly set by time in the operating room.
• Consultant fees: which differ from one hospital to the next.
• Type of operation: open, keyhole or robotic where there is a choice.
• Mass: size and type.
• Extent: cyst, ovary, tubes or more.
• Stay: normally three to five days.
• Lab tests: on the taken out tissue.

Confirm whether the Gurgaon estimate includes the surgeon, anaesthetist, theatre, room, lab tests and follow-up appointments, as these are commonly billed separately.
