Fibroid Surgery is applied to remove the fibroids whenever possible. This process is called a myomectomy. However, some women require a hysterectomy and removal of the uterus as well.
What is Myomectomy?
Myomectomy procedure is used for removing fibroids while protecting the healthy tissues of the uterus. It’s best for those females who want to protect their uterus, particularly if they want to have a baby after fibroid treatment. Doctors recommend this procedure as the standard of care for bringing out fibroids and protecting the uterus.
Types of Myomectomy include:-
Hysteroscopic Myomectomy- A hysteroscopic myomectomy used to remove fibroids through the vagina without using an incision. The process is particularly beneficial for submucosal fibroids.
Abdominal myomectomy- An abdominal myomectomy and open myomectomy used to remove fibroids through an incision in the abdomen, particularly on the bikini line. In case of large fibroids as well as multiple fibroids, it can be difficult for surgeons to have a good view. Taking this approach allowed the surgeon to easily watch pelvic organs.
Robotic-assisted myomectomy – Robotic-assisted myomectomy is an enhancing type of laparoscopic myomectomy. The professionalized instruments are joined to robotic arms advised by the surgeon. These extra techniques enhanced surgeons’ nimbleness, precision and helped them watch better at the time of their procedure. The incisions and recovery are likely to be a laparoscopic myomectomy.
Laparoscopic myomectomy – During laparoscopic myomectomies, surgeons look and access the pelvis by using a few small incisions. Each incision is around a centimeter and less. Your doctor removes each and every fibroid through these incisions.
