Overview
Myoma removal, also known as myomectomy, is a surgical procedure used to remove uterine fibroids, also called myomas or leiomyomas. Fibroids are noncancerous growths that develop within the muscular wall of the uterus and can vary in size from small, pea-sized nodules to large, grapefruit-sized masses. Myomectomy is typically recommended for women experiencing symptoms such as heavy menstrual bleeding, pelvic pain, or pressure, or for those with fertility concerns due to fibroids. At our clinic in Indore, we offer safe and effective myoma removal surgery to alleviate symptoms, preserve fertility, and improve patients’ quality of life.
Types of Myoma Removal Surgery
Myoma removal surgery can be performed using various techniques, including:
Abdominal Myomectomy: The surgeon makes an incision in the abdomen and removes the fibroids from the uterus. This approach is typically recommended for larger fibroids or when multiple fibroids are present.
Laparoscopic Myomectomy: The surgeon makes several small incisions in the abdomen and inserts a laparoscope, a thin, flexible instrument with a camera, to visualize the fibroids and surrounding tissue. Specialized instruments are then used to remove the fibroids through the small incisions.
Hysteroscopic Myomectomy: The surgeon inserts a hysteroscope, a thin, lighted instrument, through the cervix and into the uterus to visualize and remove fibroids that are located within the uterine cavity. This approach is typically recommended for small fibroids that protrude into the uterine cavity.
Benefits of Myoma Removal
Myoma removal surgery offers several benefits for women with uterine fibroids, including:
Symptom Relief: Removal of fibroids can alleviate symptoms such as heavy menstrual bleeding, pelvic pain, or pressure, improving patients’ quality of life and comfort.
Preservation of Fertility: Myoma removal allows women to preserve their fertility and reproductive potential, making it possible to conceive and carry a pregnancy to term after the procedure.
Improved Pregnancy Outcomes: For women experiencing fertility issues due to fibroids, myoma removal can improve pregnancy outcomes by reducing the risk of complications such as miscarriage, preterm birth, or fetal malpresentation.
Minimally Invasive: Laparoscopic and hysteroscopic myomectomy are minimally invasive procedures that offer shorter recovery times, fewer complications, and improved cosmetic outcomes compared to traditional open surgery.
