Overview

Myomectomy is a surgical procedure to remove uterine fibroids (myomas) while preserving the uterus. Unlike hysterectomy, where the entire uterus is removed, myomectomy allows women to maintain their fertility and menstrual function.

This procedure is especially beneficial for women who wish to become pregnant in the future, or those who want to relieve fibroid-related symptoms while keeping their uterus intact.

At our clinic, we offer advanced surgical techniques — including laparoscopic, hysteroscopic, and open myomectomy — tailored to each patient’s condition for the safest and most effective outcomes.

Why is Myomectomy Performed?

Doctors may recommend a myomectomy when fibroids cause:

• Heavy or prolonged menstrual bleeding.

• Pelvic pain or pressure.

• Frequent urination or difficulty emptying the bladder.

• Constipation due to pressure on the rectum.

• Infertility or recurrent miscarriage linked to fibroids.

• Enlarged abdomen or discomfort.

Types of Myomectomy

1. Laparoscopic Myomectomy

   • Performed through small abdominal incisions using a laparoscope.

   • Minimally invasive, faster recovery, less scarring.

   • Best for moderate-sized and fewer fibroids.

2. Hysteroscopic Myomectomy

   • Fibroids are removed through the vagina and cervix without any abdominal incision.

   • Suitable for submucosal fibroids (inside the uterine cavity).

3. Open Myomectomy (Laparotomy)

   • Performed through a larger abdominal incision.

   • Recommended for very large or multiple fibroids.

How the Procedure is Done

1. Preparation

   • Preoperative imaging (ultrasound/MRI) is done to map fibroids.

   • Anesthesia (general or regional) is administered.

2. Surgical Steps

   • The surgeon accesses the uterus (via laparoscopy, hysteroscopy, or open incision).

   • Fibroids are carefully cut out, and the uterus is reconstructed with sutures.

   • Care is taken to preserve uterine structure and fertility.

3. Duration

   • Usually takes 1–3 hours, depending on size and number of fibroids.

Recovery After Myomectomy

• Hysteroscopic: Same-day discharge, recovery within a few days.

• Laparoscopic: Hospital stay 1–2 days, recovery in 2–3 weeks.

• Open: Hospital stay 3–4 days, recovery 4–6 weeks.

• Mild pain and spotting may occur temporarily.

• Follow-up visits ensure proper healing and uterus health.

Benefits of Myomectomy

• Preserves the uterus and fertility.

• Relieves heavy bleeding, pelvic pain, and pressure symptoms.

• Improves chances of conception in women struggling with infertility due to fibroids.

• Provides long-term relief while maintaining natural cycles.

Risks & Complications (Rare)

• Excessive bleeding during surgery.

• Scar tissue formation inside the uterus (adhesions).

• Risk of fibroid recurrence.

• Infection or injury to nearby organs.

• Rarely, hysterectomy may be required if bleeding cannot be controlled.

Our expert team uses advanced techniques and careful planning to minimize these risks.

Fertility Considerations After Myomectomy

• Women are usually advised to wait 3–6 months before trying for pregnancy to allow the uterus to heal.

• Myomectomy can significantly improve chances of natural conception and success of IVF treatments.

• Cesarean section may be recommended for future deliveries, depending on the type and extent of surgery.
