Laparoscopic myomectomy is a minimally invasive procedure used to remove uterine fibroids while preserving the uterus.
Small incisions are made in the abdomen through which a camera and specialized surgical instruments are inserted. The fibroid is removed while the uterus is preserved when the procedure is medically appropriate.
Every procedure is planned based on detailed ultrasound/MRI mapping of fibroid positions and personal reproductive goals.
Myomectomy may be considered when fibroids are causing:
Excessive menstrual blood flow, passage of clots, or chronic iron-deficiency anemia due to fibroid pressure.
A sense of persistent heaviness, fullness in the lower pelvis, or aching discomfort during everyday tasks.
Bloating, visible lower abdominal swelling, or bladder/bowel compression causing frequent urination or constipation.
Subserosal, intramural, or submucosal fibroids distorting the uterine cavity or compressing adjacent pelvic structures.
Fibroids interfering with embryo implantation, distorting the endometrial lining, or obstructing fallopian tubes.
History of recurrent miscarriages, pregnancy loss, or complications associated with significant fibroids.
Not every fibroid requires surgery. The decision depends on the size, number and location of fibroids, symptoms, age and fertility plans.
When suitable for the patient, laparoscopic myomectomy may offer:
Performed through 3 to 4 tiny keyhole incisions, eliminating large open abdominal wounds.
Minimal cosmetic markings that fade rapidly, preserving aesthetic appearance.
Significantly milder postoperative discomfort in many cases, requiring less pain medication.
Most patients are discharged within 24 to 48 hours to recover in the comfort of their home.
Gentle walking begins on Day 1, with patients returning to regular work within 1 to 2 weeks.
The expected benefits and recovery depend on the size, number and location of fibroids and the complexity of surgery.
For women who want to preserve their fertility, myomectomy may be considered when fibroids are affecting the uterus or are associated with symptoms or reproductive concerns.
The effect of fibroids on fertility varies, and surgery is not required for every woman with fibroids. Dr. Sonu Singh evaluates the fibroid's location, size, symptoms and the patient's pregnancy plans before recommending treatment.
Restoring the normal smooth cavity for successful embryo implantation and healthy placental attachment.
Clear postoperative healing guidance (typically 3–6 months) before attempting natural conception or IVF transfer.
