Laparoscopic Myomectomy

Laparoscopic Myomectomy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure performed to remove fibroids from the uterus while preserving the uterus itself. Fibroids, also known as uterine leiomyomas, are noncancerous growths that develop in the muscular wall of the uterus. Laparoscopic myomectomy offers a less invasive alternative to open surgery, allowing for smaller incisions, reduced postoperative pain, and faster recovery.

During a laparoscopic myomectomy, the patient is placed under general anaesthesia to ensure comfort throughout the procedure. Several small incisions, typically less than a centimetre in size, are made in the abdomen. Carbon dioxide gas is introduced into the abdominal cavity to create space and improve visualisation. The surgeon inserts a laparoscope, which is a thin, lighted instrument with a camera, through one of the incisions. The camera provides a magnified view of the pelvic organs on a monitor, allowing the surgeon to navigate and perform the procedure with precision. Additional specialised instruments are inserted through the other incisions to remove the fibroids. The surgeon carefully identifies and isolates each fibroid, taking into consideration its size, location, and depth within the uterine wall. The fibroids are then either excised from the uterus or dissected and removed in smaller fragments, depending on their size and accessibility. The surgical site is meticulously sutured to ensure proper healing.

Laparoscopic myomectomy offers several advantages over traditional open surgery. The smaller incisions result in less scarring, reduced blood loss, and a faster recovery time. Patients generally experience less postoperative pain and can return to their normal activities sooner. Additionally, preserving the uterus allows for the potential of future pregnancy if desired.
