How is Myomectomy Done?

Medical Evaluation:
  • Complete medical history and physical examination.
  • Imaging studies (ultrasound, MRI) to determine the size, number, and location of fibroids.
  • Blood tests to check for anemia or clotting issues.
Pre-operative Instructions:
  • Discussion about anesthesia options (general or regional).
  • Instructions on fasting prior to surgery.
  • Potential need for medications (e.g., hormonal therapy) to shrink fibroids before surgery.
Patient Education:
  • Explanation of the procedure, potential risks, and expected recovery.
  • Discussion about the possibility of future pregnancies and fibroid recurrence.

Types of Myomectomy:
  • Abdominal Myomectomy: Involves a larger incision in the abdomen to access the uterus.
  • Laparoscopic Myomectomy: Minimally invasive, using small incisions and a camera to guide the removal of fibroids.
  • Hysteroscopic Myomectomy: Involves accessing the uterus through the vagina and cervix to remove fibroids that are within the uterine cavity.
Surgical Steps:
  • Administration of anesthesia.
  • Accessing the uterus based on the chosen technique.
  • Identification and removal of fibroids.
  • Suturing the uterine wall and closing incisions.

Immediate Complications:
  • Bleeding (excessive blood loss during surgery).
  • Infection (risk of post-operative infection).
  • Injury to surrounding organs (bladder, intestines).
  • Anesthesia-related complications.
Long-term Complications:
  • Scar tissue formation (adhesions).
  • Potential recurrence of fibroids.
  • Changes in menstrual cycle or fertility (rare but possible).
What are the Benefits of Myomectomy?
  • Symptom Relief: Reduction or elimination of symptoms related to fibroids.
  • Uterine Preservation: Retaining the uterus allows for future pregnancies.
  • Improved Quality of Life: Enhanced physical well-being and decreased discomfort.
Specialty
  • Gynecology: Myomectomy is typically performed by a gynecologist specializing in reproductive health and minimally invasive surgery.
  • Reproductive Endocrinology: Consultation with specialists may be beneficial for women considering future fertility.

Infrastructure & Facilities

  • Surgical Facilities: Access to a modern surgical suite equipped for laparoscopic or open surgeries.
  • Anesthesia Services:Availability of anesthesiologists and nursing staff for monitoring.
  • Post-operative Care: Facilities for recovery and monitoring patients post-surgery.
  • Imaging and Diagnostic Facilities:On-site availability of ultrasound or MRI for pre-operative assessments.

Conclusion

Myomectomy is an effective solution for those suffering from symptoms of a herniated disc. Proper preparations, understanding potential complications, and having access to the right infrastructure and specialists can contribute to a successful outcome and improved quality of life for patients.

FAQs

Yes, myomectomy is generally safe, but, like any surgery, it carries risks.

Recovery time varies based on the surgical technique used; laparoscopic myomectomy typically has a quicker recovery than abdominal myomectomy. Most women can return to normal activities within a few weeks.

There is a possibility of fibroids recurring after surgery, especially if there are multiple fibroids.

Many women can conceive and have healthy pregnancies after myomectomy, although risks can vary based on the extent of surgery.

Follow pre-operative instructions from your healthcare provider, including any necessary lifestyle changes, medications, or dietary restrictions.

Alternatives include medication to manage symptoms, uterine artery embolization, or watchful waiting if symptoms are mild.

The length of hospital stay can vary; laparoscopic procedures often allow for same-day discharge, while abdominal myomectomy may require a longer stay.
