About Fibroids Removal Surgery

Fibroids removal surgery, also known as myomectomy, is a specialized procedure performed by an Obstetrics and Gynaecologist to remove uterine fibroids (leiomyomas) while preserving the uterus. This surgery is a key option for women who wish to maintain fertility or avoid a hysterectomy. The procedure can be performed through various minimally invasive techniques, including hysteroscopic, laparoscopic, or robotic-assisted methods, depending on the size, number, and location of the fibroids. The goal is to alleviate symptoms such as heavy menstrual bleeding, pelvic pain, and pressure, thereby improving quality of life. Myomectomy requires precise surgical skill to effectively remove the benign growths and reconstruct the uterine wall, offering a uterus-sparing solution for symptomatic fibroids.
