Brief Answer:
Yes, epidural is safe
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Yes, you can go for epidural anaesthesia for removal of ovarian cysts, it's a safe procedure.
Also I suggest ask for the frozen section [histopathology] examination intra-operatively. This will tell whether the cysts are benign or otherwise. This will help surgeon to do proper surgery.
Good luck
