Abdominal Cystectomy
Abdominal cystectomy is a surgical procedure that involves the removal of cysts or tumor-like growths from the abdominal cavity. Cysts are fluid-filled sacs, while tumor-like growths can include various types of growths such as tumors or noncancerous masses.
The procedure aims to remove these abnormal growths or cysts to address underlying medical issues, alleviate symptoms, and ensure a proper diagnosis if necessary. The specific technique and approach may vary based on the location and nature of the cyst or growth.
