Myomectomy
A procedure that removes uterine fibroids while preserving the uterus.
What is Myomectomy?
A myomectomy surgically removes uterine fibroids, non-cancerous growths in the wall of the uterus, while preserving the uterus itself, making it an option for those who wish to retain fertility or simply keep their uterus. Depending on the size, number, and location of your fibroids, this can be performed laparoscopically, hysteroscopically through the vagina and cervix, or through an open abdominal incision for larger or more complex cases. Your surgeon carefully removes each fibroid and repairs the uterine wall, working to minimize scarring that could affect future fertility where relevant.
Why is this procedure performed?
- Heavy or prolonged menstrual bleeding caused by fibroids
- Pelvic pain or pressure from fibroid growth
- Fibroids affecting fertility or contributing to pregnancy complications
- A desire to treat fibroids while preserving the uterus
- Fibroids causing pressure on the bladder or bowel
How does this procedure help?
A myomectomy relieves the heavy bleeding, pain, and pressure symptoms caused by fibroids while preserving your uterus, an important option for those planning future pregnancy or who simply wish to retain it. Most patients experience significant symptom relief once healed. Recovery time varies depending on the surgical approach, from a couple of weeks for minimally invasive techniques to four to six weeks for open surgery, with your surgeon providing guidance specific to your procedure.
