Effective treatment of dermoid cysts in clinics in Israel has been undergone by many hundreds of patients from Russia, Ukraine, and other former Soviet republics. Upon contacting the clinic, the patient first undergoes expedited examinations using modern equipment — magnetic resonance imaging and computed tomography systems, ultrasound diagnostic devices. After several days of research, the final diagnosis and optimal method for cyst removal become clear.
At the Top Ichilov Medical Center, tumors of this type are removed during surgical excision (enucleation). The cyst, along with its contents, is carefully removed in such a way that the liquid contents remain inside it and do not spill onto surrounding healthy tissues, as this may cause complications. Typically, excision is performed using minimally invasive access, allowing the patient to fully recover in the shortest possible time.

Modern Treatment Methods
Treatment is recommended for patients whose tumor is a cosmetic defect or manifests symptomatically — causing chronic pain syndrome, hormonal disorders.
Surgical excision is the method of choice, regardless of the tumor's location. The age at which surgery can be performed varies significantly. According to statistics, intervention may be recommended for patients aged from one month to 63-65 years.
In some cases, excision requires certain skill and experience from the surgeon, as the fatty contents of the cyst may spill onto adjacent tissues and cause complications related to the reaction to foreign tissues. This poses particular danger if the cyst is infected with pathogenic bacteria.
Typically, a minimally invasive operation is performed, allowing for effective removal of the tumor even in complex locations — in the ovaries, tongue, soft palate, etc. Excision of tumors localized in the tissues of the tongue may cause speech disorders, so removal of cysts in such cases is performed in a way that preserves normal tongue functionality. After complete removal of the cyst along with its contents, the surgical wound is closed layer by layer with absorbable sutures.
In the treatment of ovarian tumors, laparoscopic access is used — instead of a large incision, the surgeon creates several small ones through which endoscopic instruments are introduced. Control over the course of such operations is carried out along with the results of intraoperative X-rays, and the doctor also relies on video images transmitted by a miniature camera inserted into the body.
Excision of ovarian cysts represents a more complex task; in treating such tumors, the cyst may sometimes not be separable from healthy tissues (for example, due to its large size). In such cases, the operation of choice is oophorectomy — laparoscopic removal of the entire ovary.
If the tumor is localized in the area of the spinal cord, microsurgical methods are used for its removal, allowing for the preservation of all functionally important elements of the nervous system. A small incision is made in the skin of the back and the membranes of the spinal cord to access the cyst. In most cases, the cyst excision operation is performed on an outpatient basis and does not require hospitalization, but after surgical removal of spinal tumors, the patient may be kept in the clinic for a day to exclude the risks of complications.
Numerous positive reviews from patients about the treatment of dermoid cysts in Israel testify to the high qualifications of specialists working in Israeli medical centers. They perform precise operations that ensure effective treatment, good cosmetic results, and accelerated patient rehabilitation. Since tumors of this type primarily form during fetal development, the risk of recurrence after their surgical removal is extremely low. In the overwhelming majority of cases, the tumor does not recur.
Diagnosis
The examination takes from three to four days, during which the patient undergoes several types of studies — depending on the location of the tumor.
Consultation
On the first day, you will have a consultation with a specialist, to whom you will be brought directly from the airport by a personal curator. The curator will assist you further — translating your medical documentation, coordinating doctors, and providing support in solving everyday issues. During the consultation, the doctor issues referrals for several types of diagnostics.
Studies
- X-ray.
- Computed tomography.
- Ultrasound studies.
- Magnetic resonance imaging.
- Aspirational biopsy.
- Histopathological analysis.
Consultation
After all studies are completed, the doctors gather for a commission. The medical council collectively determines the type of tumor and selects the optimal method for its excision. The patient may participate in the work of the medical commission, and their opinion regarding the choice of treatment method is decisive.
Cost of Treatment for Dermoid Cysts in Israel
The affordable price of treatment for dermoid cysts in Israel is one of the factors that attract thousands of foreign patients with such tumors to the Top Ichilov clinic every year. Similar types of surgical treatment in outpatient clinics in Western European countries or the USA are 30-45% more expensive.
