Laparoscopic myomectomy
Laparoscopic myomectomy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure to remove uterine fibroids, which are noncancerous growths in the uterus. Using small incisions in the abdomen, a surgeon inserts a tiny camera and surgical instruments to carefully excise the fibroids. This approach typically results in less pain, shorter recovery time, and reduced scarring compared to traditional open surgery. The procedure allows preservation of the uterus, which can be important for women wishing to maintain fertility or avoid hysterectomy. It is performed under anesthesia and requires specialized surgical expertise.
