Cyst op and bowel op at same time.

[Cameo666]

Have recently found that I have a cyst the size of large melon on one ovary, and have been sheduled to have surgery in a couple of months time.  However, my gynae surgeon has arranged for a 'bowel surgeon' to be there at the same time as he will need to operate on me at the same time.  I was so flabbergasted when he said this, that all sensible questions went out of my mind.  Only afterwards did I realise that I should have asked him why we needed this other surgeon.  Was my cyst entangled around by bowels etc.

So was wondering if any one else on this site has had similar problems, and similar ops at the same time, and if so, why was it required.  I would really appreciate some help and advice on this if possible.
Thanks

I have had a ceasarean and also hysterectomy in the past, plus other stomach surgeries.  So they say it will be very complicated to operate due to all the internal scar tissues.  So maybe it is as you say, he needs a bowel surgeon there to 'run my bowels' just in case.  I hope so, I don't want any more complications.
Thanks for taking the time to reply.  Much appreciated.

Hi Cameo,
I am having a complete hysterectomy which will include cyst removal and there will also be a General Surgeon at my surgery to "run my bowels"  In my case they are ruling out any possible complications due to my intestines.
