Ovarian cyst Treatment in Assoc. Prof. Dr. Serkan Oral
About the clinic
Assoc. Prof. Dr. Serkan Oral provides specialized care for ovarian cysts in Istanbul, Turkey. The clinic is led by Assoc. Prof. Dr. Serkan Oral, a gynecologist with over 20 years of experience who previously headed the IVF unit at Liv Hospital. Patients benefit from advanced surgical techniques like vNOTES, which allows for scarless surgery and a faster return to daily life.
Diagnostic procedures
The clinic uses several imaging and endoscopic methods to identify the type and size of ovarian cysts. These tests help determine if a cyst is functional, an endometrioma, or requires immediate surgical intervention. A diagnosis usually includes:
- Transvaginal ultrasound. A close-up scan to view the ovaries and surrounding pelvic structures.
- Pelvic ultrasound. An external imaging test to assess the size of the cyst.
- Hysterosalpingogram (HSG). An X-ray test used to check if cysts or related issues have blocked the fallopian tubes.
- Colposcopy. An examination of the cervix often performed alongside routine pelvic checks.
- Hysteroscopy. A procedure using a small camera to look inside the uterus for related abnormalities.
Treatment and surgical options
Assoc. Prof. Dr. Serkan Oral specializes in both surgical removal and fertility management for patients with cysts. The clinic focuses on preserving the ovarian reserve, especially for women planning future pregnancies. Available treatments include:
- Laparoscopic ovarian cyst removal. A minimally invasive surgery using small incisions. The clinic offers the vNOTES option, which leaves no visible scars on the abdomen.
- Ovarian endometrioma management. This addresses "chocolate cysts" through surgical excision and hormonal therapy to reduce pain. The team manages these cases carefully as recurrence rates can reach 50% within five years.
- Fertility preservation. This involves egg freezing via vitrification. It protects a woman’s ability to have children before undergoing cyst surgery that might affect the ovaries.
- IVF for cyst-related infertility. Assisted reproduction techniques like IVF or ICSI help patients bypass ovulation issues caused by large or persistent cysts.
Clinic expertise and accreditations
The facility holds an International Health Tourism Authorization Certificate from the Turkish government. Assoc. Prof. Dr. Serkan Oral is an active member of several international organizations, including the American Society for Reproductive Medicine (ASRM) and the European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology (ESHRE). These memberships help ensure the clinic follows international protocols for gynecological surgery and assisted reproduction. Patients can request a consultation or leave a request on Bookimed to discuss their treatment plan.

Reproductology and IVF Services
The clinic treats both female and male infertility using evidence-based protocols. Healthy couples have a 25% monthly pregnancy chance. IVF can increase this to 60%. Specialists create individualized plans based on age and ovarian reserve. The reproductology department manages several conditions and procedures:
- IVF (in vitro fertilization) and ICSI microinjection
- Controlled cryopreservation of embryos stored in liquid nitrogen
- Fertility preservation through egg freezing
- Micro TESE for male patients with no sperm in semen analysis
- Management of PCOS and ovarian endometriomas (chocolate cysts)
Fertility preservation is a core focus for patients planning future families. The specialist evaluates ovarian reserve before recommending egg or embryo freezing.
Advanced Gynecological Surgery
Specialists perform minimally invasive surgeries to treat uterine and ovarian conditions. These procedures often address underlying causes of infertility. Surgeons use vNOTES, a technique that leaves no visible abdominal scars. The surgical team performs various interventions:
- Hysteroscopic septum resection to correct uterine abnormalities
- Laparoscopic myomectomy for the removal of uterine fibroids
- Hysteroscopic polypectomy to remove endometrial polyps
- Surgical management of hydrosalpinx to improve IVF success rates
For fibroids, the clinic recommends removal if they exceed 6 cm or cause pressure. Pre-operative hormone therapy may shrink fibroids or treat anemia. Surgeons also treat urinary incontinence with non-surgical laser therapy when suitable.
Diagnostic Technologies
The clinic uses detailed imaging and lab tests to build treatment plans. Diagnostic tools help identify uterine adhesions, fibroids, or blocked tubes. The facility has specific diagnostic equipment:
- Transvaginal and pelvic ultrasound systems
- HSG (hysterosalpingogram) for uterine X-ray imaging
- Colposcopy for early detection of cervical cellular changes
- Hysteroscopy for direct visual inspection of the uterine cavity
- Semen analysis and DNA testing for male fertility evaluation
These tools let the specialist monitor pregnancy and screen for gynecological concerns.
Services for International Patients

The specialist guides patients through each technical step of the IVF process. The practice is located in Kızıltoprak, a central Istanbul district.
