Only the attending physician can choose the best method for removing fibroids after examining the patient. At the same time, he takes into account the number, location and size of tumors, the symptoms of the disease, the age of the woman and her desire to have children in the future.
In Bookimed partner clinics, doctors perform the following types of myomectomy:
Hysteroscopic myomectomy
This operation is suitable for women who have a small fibroid located in the uterine cavity. The intervention is carried out through the cervix, so there are no postoperative sutures on the skin. As a rule, the patient goes home a few hours after the operation.
Laparoscopic or robotic removal of uterine fibroids
Surgery is usually prescribed to remove a few medium-sized fibroids. The intervention is carried out through 5 thin punctures in the abdominal cavity or through one puncture in the navel, where thin surgical instruments are inserted. During a robotic operation, all actions are performed by a special Da Vinci robot surgeon, which is controlled by a doctor using a remote control. This procedure is most accurate, with minimal risk of damaging tissues and blood vessels.
During the operation, the patient is under general anesthesia. After the intervention in the clinic, it is necessary to spend 3-4 days.
Abdominal myomectomy
This type of myomectomy is prescribed for:
- multiple fibroids;
- large myomatous nodes (diameter from 8 cm);
- tumors that are located deep in the abdominal cavity.
During the operation, the doctor makes one incision in the lower abdomen. So he gets a complete overview of the meta-operation, therefore he can carry out the removal of a tumor of any complexity.
After the intervention, the patient needs to stay in the clinic for 5-7 days.
