What Is Myomectomy?
Myomectomy is the surgical removal of non-cancerous growths called fibroids (myomas) from the uterus. Unlike hysterectomy, which removes the entire uterus, myomectomy preserves the uterus, making it a preferred option for women who wish to maintain fertility. The procedure is commonly recommended for patients experiencing:
- Heavy or prolonged menstrual bleeding
- Pelvic pain or pressure
- Frequent urination or bladder pressure
- Infertility or recurrent pregnancy loss
There are several types of myomectomy, including:
- Laparoscopic (minimally invasive) myomectomy
- Hysteroscopic myomectomy (for fibroids inside the uterine cavity)
- Abdominal myomectomy (for large or numerous fibroids)
Benefits of Myomectomy
Results vary by patient, but many report:
- Significant reduction or elimination of symptoms
- Preservation of uterine function and fertility
- Relief from pelvic pressure and discomfort
- Improved quality of life
Our surgeons use state-of-the-art techniques to minimize scarring, reduce recovery time, and enhance surgical outcomes.
