Myomectomy
Myomectomy
Fibroids are non-cancerous growth that appears inside or outside the uterus. Myomectomy is a surgical procedure to remove leiomyomas which are also known as uterine fibroids. Myomectomy aims to remove fibroids only and preserve the tissues in the uterus for future pregnancy. Vizag IVF Centre offers you the best quality treatment to lead a healthy reproductive life.
Myomectomy With Vizag IVF Centre
Myomectomy is a surgical procedure that is recommended to remove fibroids that cause pain or interfere with your daily activities. This surgery helps relieve symptoms and preserve the uterine tissues for further pregnancies. Symptoms like heavy periods, pelvic pain, bleeding and frequent urination can possibly be caused by fibroids.
Myomectomy is the best alternative to hysterectomy because it only removes fibroids, whereas, in hysterectomy, both fibroids and the uterus are removed. It can help in certain conditions like one wants to give birth, prevent fertility problems and promote regular menstruation.
How is it Performed?
Myomectomy is performed in three ways based on size, location and the number of fibroids in the uterus.
- Abdominal Myomectomy: Fibroids are removed by an open abdominal incision.
- Laparoscopic Myomectomy: A small incision is made in the abdomen to remove fibroids. A laparoscope is inserted into the abdomen to perform the surgery.
- Hysteroscopic Myomectomy: In this procedure, fibroids are removed without an incision. To treat small fibroids, an instrument with a camera is inserted into the uterus via the vagina to cut the fibroid.
Myomectomy can give relief from pelvic pain and excessive menstrual bleeding. It can also improve the chance of fertility.
Recovery Times for the Surgery
Different surgical procedure has different recovery times:
- Abdominal Myomectomy: 4 to 6 weeks
- Laparoscopic Myomectomy: 2 to 4 weeks
- Hysteroscopic Myomectomy: 2 to 3 days
Risk Factors of the Myomectomy Procedure
Though Myomectomy has less complication rate, it can still have some challenges, which include:
- Excessive blood loss: A person with fibroids might be anaemic and has low blood counts due to heavy menstrual bleeding. They have to improve the blood count to reduce the risk of heavy bleeding during surgery.
- Pregnancy and childbirth complications: The surgery can risk pregnancy and delivery and leads to complications during childbirth.
- Cancerous tumour: There is a rare chance of operating cancer tumours that can be mistaken as fibroids. Cutting into pieces can lead to the spread of cancer tumours.
- Scar tissue: Incisions to remove fibroids can lead to adhesions and scar tissue developed after surgery.
- Hysterectomy: The uterus is removed if there is uncontrollable bleeding or any other abnormalities.
