Myomectomy
Articles and resources for Myomectomy in Gynecologic Surgery.
Myomectomy is a surgical procedure aimed at removing uterine fibroids, which are non-cancerous growths in the uterus. Common reasons for considering this surgery include heavy menstrual bleeding, pelvic pain, and pressure symptoms that can affect quality of life. Women who wish to preserve their fertility may also opt for myomectomy, as it can alleviate symptoms while maintaining the uterus for potential future pregnancies.
The procedure can be performed in several ways, depending on the size and location of the fibroids. Methods include abdominal myomectomy, laparoscopic myomectomy, and hysteroscopic myomectomy. Generally, the choice of technique will depend on the individual case and the surgeon’s expertise. Patients can expect a pre-operative assessment, anesthesia, and a recovery period that may vary based on the surgical method used.
While myomectomy can provide significant relief from symptoms and improve quality of life, it does carry certain risks. Potential benefits include reduced pain and bleeding, as well as the possibility of improved fertility. However, risks may include infection, bleeding, and the potential for fibroids to recur. Understanding these factors is essential for making informed decisions regarding treatment options.
