Background: Ovarian cysts are a prevalent condition among women, and minimally invasive surgery (MIS) has been increasingly adopted due to its benefits in recovery and outcomes. Objective: This study evaluates the postoperative recovery of patients undergoing MIS for ovarian cyst management in tertiary hospitals in Bangladesh. Method: A cohort of 104 patients from a multicenter tertiary hospital in Bangladesh, treated between January 2023 and December 2023, underwent laparoscopic surgery for ovarian cysts. Data on postoperative recovery, pain levels, complication rates, and return to daily activities were collected over a 6-month follow-up period. Statistical analysis was used to calculate the mean, percentages, and recovery trends. Results: The mean postoperative pain score was 2.1 on the Visual Analog Scale (VAS), with 87% of patients reporting mild pain (VAS 1–3) within 24 hours post-surgery. The average time to return to daily activities was 9.6 days, and 92% of patients resumed normal routines within 10 days. The mean hospital stay was 2.4 days (range: 1–4 days), with 96% of patients discharged within 3 days. Only 4.8% of patients experienced minor postoperative complications, such as wound infections. There were no reported cases of major complications, such as organ injury. Cosmetic outcomes were rated highly, with 94% of patients satisfied with the minimal scarring from the procedure. Conclusions: Minimally invasive surgery is highly effective in managing ovarian cysts, with short recovery times, minimal complications, and high patient satisfaction. These results support MIS as a first-line treatment for ovarian cysts.
