A myomectomy is a surgical approach that is done to treat and remove uterine fibroids while preserving the uterus. This procedure, when done through smaller incisions, is known as a laparoscopic or minimally invasive myomectomy.
In simple terms, laparoscopic myomectomy is a minimally invasive surgical intervention that uses a small, thin tube-like instrument for the removal of fibroids.
Uterine fibroids are the common growths of the uterus that often develop during a woman’s childbearing years. These growths are usually non-cancerous, but they can cause problems like pelvic pain or pressure, heavy menstrual bleeding, and urinary incontinence.
At first, you will be given general anaesthesia (you’re unconscious) or regional anaesthesia (where only the lower part of your body is numbed). Following that, your doctor will make 3 to 4 small incisions in your abdominal wall. These incisions are typically less than half an inch in size and serve as access points for surgical instruments.
A thin tube-like medical instrument known as a laparoscope is inserted, which has a light and a camera at its end. The camera provides a magnified view of the abdominal and pelvic structures on a monitor in the operating room, allowing the doctor to see the fibroids and surrounding tissues.
Removal of the uterine fibroids usually depends on the size and location of the fibroids; surgeons may remove them in clusters or individually.
Once all fibroids have been removed, the surgeon will close the small incisions with sutures or adhesive strips.
After the procedure, you’ll be monitored in a recovery area until the effects of anaesthesia wear off. Most patients get discharged in a day or after a brief hospital stay, depending on individual circumstances.
Laparoscopic myomectomy is done when uterine fibroids can cause problems such as heavy bleeding, frequent urination, and pelvic pain. Laparoscopy myomectomy is considered for the treatment of uterine fibroids because of the several advantages it offers over abdominal myomectomy. Following are some of the advantages of laparoscopic myomectomy:
