AMVI Hospital is the Hospital for Laparoscopic Myomectomy Surgery Treatment providing high quality and comprehensive medical care personalized to meet your needs. We provide Laparoscopic Myomectomy Treatment by the highly experienced surgeon by using latest technology.
Myomectomy is a surgical procedure to remove uterine fibroids — also called leiomyomas. These are common noncancerous growths that appear in the uterus, usually during childbearing years, but they can occur at any age.
Goal of the surgeon during myomectomy is to take out symptom-causing fibroids and reconstruct the uterus. Unlike hysterectomy, which removes your entire uterus, myomectomy removes only the fibroids and leaves your uterus intact.
Benefits of Laparoscopic Myomectomy
» Lower Post operative pain.
» Only One or two days stay in the hospital.
» It is a small surgery so takes less time in recovery of the wound typically 2-3 weeks.
» Laparoscopic Myomectomy surgery with uterine artery ligation results in significantly low recurrence rate.
Laparoscopic surgery needs to be done only by the expert surgeons as the surgery is guided by a small telescope. There are several other factors like numbers of fibroids, their location and size of the Uterine.
INDICATIONS OF MYOMECTOMY
Your doctor might advise myomectomy for fibroids causing symptoms that are troublesome. If you need surgery, reasons to choose a myomectomy over a hysterectomy for uterine fibroids include:
» You want to bear children
» Your doctor suspects fibroids might be interfering with your fertility
» You want to retain your uterus
There are 3 types of procedures to get rid of the fibroids and usage of the type of procedure usually depends upon the location, size, and number of the fibroids present.
» An abdominal Myomectomy is a suitable option if the patient has large uterine fibroids present.
» Laparoscopic myomectomy is advised if the fibroids are smaller in size and fewer in number.
» Hysteroscopic myomectomy is recommended if the fibroids are present inside the uterus but smaller in size.
What are the Risks?
» Excessive loss of blood
» Scarring of the tissue
» Childbearing complications
» Rare chance of hysterectomy
» Heavy bleeding – just like any other surgery
» Infections
What does the basic testing for women include?
Laboratory tests may include blood and urine tests. A urine test can tell when and if you ovulate. Blood tests can measure:
» Progesterone levels (to see if you have ovulated)
» Thyroid function (problems with the thyroid may cause infertility)
» Levels of the hormone prolactin (high levels can disrupt ovulation)
» Ovarian reserve (egg supply)
Expected Results from the Procedure
» The successful myomectomy surgery helps the patients to get relieved from the heavy bleeding, frequent urination, and pelvic pain and pressure.
» Once the fibroids are removed, the patient’s fertility state also improves along with pregnancy outcome.
