What Is a Myomectomy?
A myomectomy (fibroid removal surgery) is a procedure used to remove fibroids (uterine leiomyomas) from the uterus while preserving the uterus. Unlike hysterectomy, this surgery allows women to maintain fertility and consider future pregnancies.
Myomectomy helps relieve symptoms such as:
Heavy or prolonged menstrual bleeding
Pelvic pain or pressure
Frequent urination
Infertility caused by fibroids
Types of Myomectomy
The type of myomectomy depends on the size, number, and location of fibroids, as well as the patient’s overall health.
1. Open Myomectomy (Abdominal Myomectomy)
This traditional surgical method involves a larger incision in the lower abdomen to access the uterus directly.
Best suited for:
Large fibroids
Multiple fibroids
Complex cases
Recovery time: 4–6 weeks
Scarring: Larger abdominal scar
Benefits of Myomectomy
Myomectomy offers multiple benefits for women affected by fibroids:
Preserves the uterus
Maintains fertility potential
Reduces heavy menstrual bleeding
Relieves pelvic pain and pressure
Improves quality of life
Multiple surgical options available
Targeted removal of fibroids only
2. Minimally Invasive Myomectomy
Minimally invasive techniques involve smaller or no incisions, resulting in quicker recovery and less postoperative discomfort.
a. Laparoscopic Myomectomy
Performed using small abdominal incisions with a camera and specialised instruments.
Less pain and blood loss
Faster healing
Recovery: 2–4 weeks
b. Robotic Myomectomy
A robot-assisted laparoscopic procedure that allows enhanced precision and control.
Ideal for complex fibroid locations
Minimal scarring
Faster recovery similar to laparoscopy
c. Hysteroscopic Myomectomy
Performed through the vagina and cervix without any abdominal incision.
Suitable for fibroids inside the uterine cavity
Short hospital stay
Recovery within a few days
