What Is a Liver Cyst?
10. Treatment
In many cases, the decision will be made that treating liver cysts is not necessary. Regardless, it will still be a good idea to regular get check-ups in case the condition gets worse. If the cysts are considered to be severe enough, then surgery may be deemed necessary.
One option is to have the cysts removed completely. This is a procedure that is performed by way of a laparoscopy, and the patient will only likely spend one night in hospital. Another option is to use a long needle to help drain the fluid from the cyst. The cyst will sometimes return, however, so removal is often considered to be the best option.
