Introduction: Ovarian cysts occur in 30% of females with regular menses, 50% of females with irregular menses and 6% of postmenopausal females. Aims: In the present study we aimed to compare the actual practice with optimal practice in management of F.O.C. The aim of this study is to find out how many functional ovarian cysts are removed in studied gynecologic departments with the current practice. Results: In 2981 patients with benign ovarian histopathology undergoing surgery, 1732 (58.5%) had functional ovarian cysts. Among patients with functional ovarian cyst, 1005 (58%) were uncomplicated, followed by 686 patients (39.6%) having hemorrhagic and 41 patients (2.3%) having torsed ovarian cyst. Conclusions: Our finding suggests more functional ovarian cysts might have avoided surgery, if more strict criteria for surgery were followed in gynecological departments.
