A giant cyst with a volume of about 10 liters was removed in Mykolaiv

Surgeons at Mykolaiv City Hospital No. 3 performed a complex operation, removing a giant cyst weighing about 10 liters from a patient. The Mykolaiv Department of Health reported the procedure.

The woman’s condition is currently stable. She is recovering after surgery and remains under medical supervision.

Every stage of the procedure required particular precision. The team’s coordinated efforts and continuous monitoring of the patient’s vital signs under anesthesia were crucial.

The operation was performed by a medical team that included:

• surgeon Nataliia Chasovenko;
• surgeon Oleksandr Nikolaienko;
• anesthesiologist Valentyn Bezruchko;
• operating-room nurse Stella Pohosova.

As the medical facility explained, cysts of this size are uncommon in modern gynecological practice. In some cases, growths can enlarge for a long time with almost no symptoms and reach critical dimensions.

Such growths are dangerous not only to patients’ health but also to their lives. They can compress internal organs and disrupt blood circulation, as well as the functioning of the digestive and urinary systems.

To detect conditions early and prevent complex surgical procedures, the Mykolaiv Department of Health reminds women to have regular preventive gynecological checkups and timely ultrasound examinations.
