Who needs a myomectomy?

Myomectomy is a procedure suitable for women with fibroids who wish to preserve their uterus, often to maintain the possibility of having children in the future.

Investigations required to diagnose the procedure

If you have fibroids and are experiencing pelvic pain, menstrual pain, irregular bleeding, or frequent urination, your physician may recommend undergoing a myomectomy.

Line of treatment for myomectomy

A myomectomy can be performed using the following surgery techniques:

A myomectomy is a surgical procedure that involves making an open incision in the lower part of the stomach and abdomen to locate and remove fibroids. Alternatively, your surgeon may opt for a laparoscopic myomectomy, which involves making a series of tiny incisions to remove the myomas. Automation of this process is possible. Compared to abdominal myomectomy, this approach is less invasive, and the recovery time is shorter. Finally, in a hysteroscopic myomectomy, the surgeon inserts a specialized scope through the vagina and cervix to remove the fibroids.

Stay days in the hospital after myomectomy

A myomectomy often involves a one to two days stay in the hospital following the procedure.

The success rate of myomectomy

There is a 25 to 77% success rate of conception after a myomectomy.

Post-op procedure or discharge care after myomectomy

After undergoing a myomectomy, there is a slight risk of developing an infection. In such cases, your healthcare provider may prescribe antibiotics to treat the infection. It’s also common to experience a fever after the procedure, often due to tissue changes rather than an infection.

Occasionally, a blood transfusion may be necessary if there is significant bleeding during a myomectomy, regardless of the surgical approach. However, this situation is not typical. To minimize the risk of needing a blood transfusion during the operation, it is advisable to address any pre-existing anemia before the procedure.
