I discovered an ovarian cyst in July 2006.
It grew to football size over the course
of 10 months. (I was hoping that it would
shrink as they occasionally do.) After
much research and many consultations at
both the University of California- San
Francisco and Stanford Hospitals, two
oncologists recommended full
hysterectomies and three OB-GYN surgeons
recommended laparotomies with oncology
back up because of the cyst%u2019s size
and complexity. When I asked about a less
invasive procedure I was told by one of
the surgeons that there was only one
person in the Bay Area that could possibly
do it laparoscopically %u2014Dr. Camran
Nezhat--but this doctor doubted that Dr.
Nezhat would agree to it. Dr. Nezhat
skillfully removed the cyst that tested
benign. There was a one-night stay in the
hospital, minimal discomfort, and the
recovery was very quick. I was able to
return to work in less than two weeks. I
feel very fortunate to have had Dr.
Nezhat%u2019s kindness; compassion and
remarkable expertise spare me a more
invasive surgery. I recommend that you
investigate your options thoroughly.
%u201CDr. Camran Nezhat has performed many
procedures laparoscopically for the first
time, surgeries once considered inoperable
by the minimally invasive method. He is
the pioneer and leading practitioner in
the field of laparoscopic surgery,
specializing in laparoscopic treatment of
severe endometriosis involving multiple
organs, management of infertility, myomas
of the uterus, and other pelvic
diseases.%u201D

I'm happy you had a successful treatment
and quick recovery.
Do you know the type of the ovarian cyst
you had?
Many women have ovarian cysts without
having any symptoms.
Did you have any?
Were you experiencing pressure, fullness,
or pain in the abdomen or you were feeling
pain only during sexual intercourse and
during menstruation?
