“Is ovarian cyst removal minimally invasive?”
I have large ovarian cysts that have a chance of being cancerous, and my doctors want to remove them. I'm 43 years old. Will the surgery be minimally invasive?

Yes, if it is small; for huge cyst, open surgery.
You should ask your gynecologist. While many are done laparoscopically or robotically it depends on the experience and training of your doctor to do so. The priority is safety.
It depends on the clinical situation. If the doctors are sure it’s cancerous then it is usually removed through an incision but if it is indeterminate then it can be removed with minimally invasive techniques. This is a judgment that must be made by your surgeon.
