A Myomectomy is a procedure to remove fibroids (also known as myomas) from the uterus.Fibroids are non cancerous lesions in the muscle layer of the uterus. During myomectomy, fibroids are removed, and the uterus is repaired. After this procedure, one will typically have a normally functioning uterus and it is the preferred fibroid treatment for women who want to become pregnant.
Open myomectomy An open myomectomy, also known as abdominal myomectomy, is done through an incision in the abdomen.This type of procedure may be the best option for large fibroids.
Minimally-invasive myomectomy There are several types of minimally-invasive options for a myomectomy. These surgeries generally have quicker recovery times and require shorter stay in the hospital.
