Laparoscopic Myomectomy

Laparoscopic Myomectomy is a surgical procedure that involves the removal of fibroids without causing any damage to the uterus. It is also known as the Robotic Myomectomy in the medical word. When the fibroid starts to cause too much problem in daily life, the doctors may recommend this surgery. The symptoms which might lead to the surgery are Pelvic pain, Frequent urination, Irregular bleeding, Heavy periods. Laparoscopic Myomectomy helps to remove fibroids with small abdominal incisions. There are several forms of myomectomy techniques depending upon the location and size of the fibroids.

What happens during the procedure?

There are various steps a surgeon follows during the laparoscopic myomectomy procedure. Your surgeon will make four small incisions of ½ inch long in your lower abdomen while you are under general anesthesia. The surgeon will be able to see inside your abdomen. It happens when your belly is full of carbon dioxide.

A laparoscope, i.e., a thin tube of light, along with a camera on one end, will be placed in one of the incisions. From the other incisions, small instruments will be placed. In the case of robotic surgery, your surgeon will use a robotic arm to control the instruments.

If your fibroids are small in size your surgeon may prefer to cut those fibroids into small pieces, and in case they are too large, a larger incision will be made in your abdomen to conduct an abdominal myomectomy. At the end of the surgery, all the instruments will be removed, the carbon dioxide gas will be released, and the incisions will be closed.
