HEPATIC CYSTECTOMY
Excision of a liver cyst or treatment to remove the wall of the cyst
Liver cysts are small pockets of fluid that form in your liver. If they get too big, they can cause pain and swelling.
Simply draining the fluid is not enough to remove a cyst, as it fills up again. A more effective way is laparoscopic 'de-roofing' where a large portion of the cyst wall is removed.
You'll have a pre-op assessment about 14 days before surgery to assess your general fitness.
As you'll be receiving a general anaesthetic, you may need to limit your food and drink intake in the six hours leading up to surgery. You're usually given anti-thrombosis socks to wear to stop you from developing blood clots in the veins of your legs during and after the procedure.
