Myomectomy
The surgical excision of uterine leiomyomas, often known as fibroids, is referred to as myomectomy or fibroidectomy
The uterus is seen and fibroids are found and removed using the laparoscopic method. During a myomectomy. the surgeon aims to remove symptom-causing fibroids while also reconstructing the uterus.
A myomectomy, unlike a hysterectomy, removes only the fibroids and leaves the uterus intact.
Although myomectomy is extremely effective, fibroids can grow again. You are more likely to develop fibroids again in the future if you are younger and have more fibroids at the time of myomectomy. After a myomectomy, women approaching menopause are the least likely to get recurrent fibroids.
Your doctor may advise you to have this procedure if your fibroids are causing symptoms such as pelvic ache, prolonged durations, erratic bleeding, frequent urination, etc.
