Laparoscopic Myomectomy: Methods and How the Right One is Chosen

Laparoscopic Myomectomy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to remove uterine fibroids (non-cancerous growths) while preserving the uterus. It is an excellent option for women who wish to maintain fertility or avoid major surgery.

Why Laparoscopic Myomectomy?

  •   Minimal scarring

  •   Shorter hospital stay

  •   Less postoperative pain

  •   Faster recovery

  •   Lower risk of infection

Main Methods of Myomectomy

The choice of surgical technique depends on the size, number, and location of fibroids, as well as the patient’s health and future fertility plans.

1. Laparoscopic Myomectomy
  •   Performed using small incisions and a camera

  •   Ideal for fibroids up to 10–12 cm in size

  •   Requires surgical expertise for suturing and fibroid removal

  •   Best for intramural or subserosal fibroids

2. Hysteroscopic Myomectomy
  •   Fibroids are removed through the vagina using a hysteroscope

  •   Suitable for submucosal fibroids inside the uterine cavity

  •   No external cuts or stitches

  •   Often done as a day-care procedure

3. Robotic-Assisted Myomectomy
  •   Similar to laparoscopy but performed with robotic arms

  •   Offers enhanced precision and better control

  •   Useful in complex cases with multiple or hard-to-reach fibroids

4. Robotic-Assisted Myomectomy
  •   An open surgery with a larger incision

  •   Reserved for very large or numerous fibroids

  •   Longer recovery time but may be necessary in certain cases

Factors That Determine the Right Method

  •   Size and location of the fibroid(s)

  •  Number of fibroids present

  •  Surgeon’s skill and facility equipment

  •  Desire for future pregnancy

  •  Patient’s overall health condition

Additional Gynecological Procedures

Often, patients undergoing fibroid removal may also be candidates for other laparoscopic procedures such as Laparoscopic ovarian cystectomy, especially if cysts are discovered during surgery.
