What is Myomectomy?

Myomectomy is the surgical removal of non-cancerous tumors in the uterus called fibroids. This procedure is a preferable option for women who want to preserve the uterus, despite the symptoms of fibroids or their impact on the patient's reproductive function.

Objectives of Myomectomy Surgery

1. Womb Protection: Myomectomy allows the uterus to be preserved and the woman's fertility to continue.
2. Symptom Relief: Relieving the symptoms caused by fibroids is an important goal of myomectomy surgery.
3. Fertility Treatment: Fibroids can make it difficult to conceive or lead to complications during pregnancy. Myomectomy can increase the chances of pregnancy, either naturally or with assisted reproductive technologies.

Types of Myomectomy Surgery

1. Laparoscopic Myomectomy: It is a minimally invasive surgical procedure performed through small incisions. Laparoscopic myomectomy is performed by inserting a small camera and surgical instruments into the abdomen.
2. Laparotomic Myomectomy: It is preferred for the treatment of large fibroids or complicated conditions. In this method, an incision is made in the lower abdomen and the fibroids are removed manually.

Recovery and Complications After Myomectomy

Recovery after myomectomy is usually faster with laparoscopic procedures. However, every patient is different and recovery depends on individual factors. In rare cases, complications such as infection, bleeding or adhesions in the uterus may occur after myomectomy.
