What is Laparoscopic Myomectomy
Laparoscopic myomectomy is a minimally invasive surgery used to remove fibroids (non-cancerous growths) from the uterus. Fibroids can cause heavy periods, pelvic pain, infertility, or pressure in the lower abdomen.
In this procedure, small cuts are made in the abdomen, and a thin camera called a laparoscope is inserted to see inside. Special instruments are used to remove the fibroids while keeping the uterus safe.
Unlike open surgery, laparoscopic myomectomy causes less pain, smaller scars, and faster recovery. It is often recommended for women who want to preserve their uterus and plan pregnancy in the future.
Indications of Myomectomy
Myomectomy is recommended when fibroids start causing significant symptoms or affecting fertility.
- Heavy or prolonged menstrual bleeding
- Anaemia due to excessive blood loss
- Severe pelvic pain or pressure
- Infertility associated with fibroids
- Recurrent miscarriages
- Rapidly increasing fibroid size
- Large fibroids (more than 4–5 cm)
- Multiple fibroids distorting the uterus
- Pain during intercourse
- Frequent urination due to bladder pressure
- Constipation due to bowel compression
- Failed medical management
What Does Basic Testing for Women Include?
Before laparoscopic myomectomy surgery, proper evaluation is very important to ensure safety and better outcomes.
Ultrasound Scan: A pelvic ultrasound helps identify the size, number, and location of fibroids. It is the first and most important diagnostic test.
Blood Tests: Blood tests check haemoglobin levels (to detect anaemia), blood group, sugar levels, thyroid function, and overall health condition.
MRI (If Required): In some complex cases, an MRI scan is advised to get a detailed view of fibroid position and uterine structure.
Hormonal Evaluation: Hormone levels may be checked if irregular periods or fertility issues are present.
Pre-Anaesthesia Checkup: Before laparoscopic myomectomy, a complete fitness evaluation is done to ensure the patient is fit for surgery.
At AMVI Hospital Hyderabad, these tests are performed carefully at both Attapur and Puppalaguda branches to ensure safe laparoscopic myomectomy surgery.
Who Needs Laparoscopic Myomectomy?
Women suffering from symptomatic uterine fibroids are potential candidates for laparoscopic myomectomy. If fibroids are causing heavy bleeding that interferes with daily life, surgical removal may be necessary. Women who develop anaemia due to excessive menstrual bleeding may benefit from fibroid removal surgery.
Those experiencing chronic pelvic pain, abdominal heaviness, or pressure symptoms should consult for evaluation. Women struggling with infertility due to fibroids may require laparoscopic myomectomy to improve pregnancy chances. If fibroids distort the uterine cavity and affect embryo implantation, removal becomes important.
Patients who experience repeated miscarriages related to fibroids may need surgical correction. Women who have large fibroids causing visible abdominal enlargement may require surgery. If medication fails to shrink fibroids or control symptoms, laparoscopic myomectomy becomes the preferred option.
Women planning pregnancy often choose laparoscopic myomectomy because it preserves the uterus. Those looking for a minimally invasive fibroid removal surgery with faster recovery also prefer this advanced approach.

Procedure Step-by-Step – Laparoscopic Myomectomy in Hyderabad
Laparoscopic myomectomy in Hyderabad is an advanced and carefully planned fibroid removal surgery designed to remove uterine fibroids while preserving fertility and uterine function. At AMVI Hospital Hyderabad, this minimally invasive uterine fibroid treatment is performed using modern laparoscopic technology at both Attapur and Puppalaguda branches.
Before laparoscopic myomectomy surgery, detailed evaluation is done including pelvic ultrasound, blood tests, and sometimes MRI. This helps in mapping the exact size, number, and location of fibroids. Proper planning ensures safer fibroid removal surgery and better long-term results.
A complete medical fitness check is done before surgery. This ensures the patient is fit for laparoscopic myomectomy and reduces surgical risks.
Laparoscopic myomectomy is performed under general anaesthesia to ensure complete comfort. The patient remains asleep and pain-free throughout the fibroid removal surgery.
Three to four small incisions (usually 0.5–1 cm) are made in the abdomen. These small cuts make laparoscopic myomectomy in Hyderabad a minimally invasive uterine fibroid treatment compared to open surgery.
A high-definition laparoscope (thin camera) is inserted through one incision. This provides a clear and magnified view of the uterus and fibroids on a monitor, allowing precise surgical control.
Using advanced laparoscopic instruments, fibroids are carefully separated from the uterine wall. This step is crucial in fibroid removal surgery to preserve healthy uterine tissue. Even multiple fibroids can be removed safely during laparoscopic myomectomy.
After removing the fibroids, the uterine muscle is stitched layer by layer to restore strength and structure. Proper suturing is very important, especially for women planning pregnancy after uterine fibroid treatment.
The small incisions are closed with minimal sutures or skin glue, leaving very small scars. This is one of the major benefits of laparoscopic myomectomy in Hyderabad.
Recovery After Laparoscopic Myomectomy
Hospital Stay
1–2 days observation is usually sufficient.
Pain Management
Mild pain is managed with medication.
Early Walking
Patients are encouraged to walk within 24 hours.
Return to Work
Light activities within 7–10 days.
Improved Menstrual Symptoms
Bleeding and pain usually reduce significantly.
Pregnancy Planning
Doctors advise waiting 3–6 months before planning pregnancy.
Risks & Safety
Laparoscopic myomectomy is generally safe when performed by experienced surgeons. Minor risks such as infection, bleeding, or anaesthesia reactions may occur but are uncommon.
In rare situations, if fibroids are extremely large or numerous, conversion to open surgery may be necessary. Proper pre-surgical evaluation reduces such risks.
At AMVI Hospital Hyderabad (Attapur and Puppalaguda), strict surgical protocols and advanced equipment ensure high safety standards.
