Laparoscopic Myomectomy

عن Laparoscopic Myomectomy

Laparoscopic myomectomy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure to remove uterine fibroids, benign growths in the muscular wall of the uterus, while preserving the uterus itself, making it a preferred option for women who wish to retain fertility or avoid hysterectomy. Through several small abdominal incisions, the surgeon uses a camera and specialized instruments to locate, remove, and shell out each fibroid, then repairs the uterine muscle layer by layer to maintain the strength of the wall for any future pregnancy. The procedure is performed under general anesthesia and can take one to several hours depending on the number, size, and location of the fibroids. It is generally recommended for women with symptomatic fibroids causing heavy bleeding, pain, pressure symptoms, or fertility problems, when the fibroid location and size make a laparoscopic approach feasible. Recovery from laparoscopic surgery is typically faster than open surgery, with a hospital stay of one to two days and return to normal activity within two to three weeks, though pregnancy is usually advised to be delayed for several months to allow the uterine repair to heal. Patients traveling to India for laparoscopic myomectomy typically plan a stay of around two weeks to cover surgery and early recovery.
