Laparoscopic Myomectomy

Laparoscopic Myomectomy

A myomectomy is a procedure to remove fibroids, otherwise called myomas, from the uterus. After the fibroids are removed, the uterus is repaired and will work regularly. In contrast, another common treatment for fibroids is hysterectomy, where the uterus is removed alongside the fibroids.

Standard laparoscopic myomectomy includes the utilization of a little, lit telescope embedded through the umbilicus (belly button). Several other little cuts are made in different places in the stomach area for the placement of special instruments to help with removing the fibroids. The fibroids themselves are once in a while pushed out through the vagina, or through the little openings in the stomach area.
