Laparoscopic Removal of Ovarian Cysts: Common Surgery, Serious Costs
Ovarian cysts are common, but surgery may be required when cysts are large, persistent, or symptomatic. Laparoscopic removal reduces recovery time but not necessarily cost.
What It Costs
MOH benchmarks typically indicate:
• Surgeon fee: SGD 5,000 – 9,000
• Anaesthetist fee: SGD 1,500 – 2,200
Complex cysts or adhesions increase fees.
What’s Typically Covered
Most comprehensive plans cover:
• Ovarian cyst surgery
• Hospitalisation and anaesthesia
• Pathology
Insurance Tip
Ask whether bilateral cyst surgery or repeat procedures affect coverage limits.
Conclusion
Common gynaecological surgery can still carry major financial exposure without proper insurance.
