Hysteroscopy myomectomy
A hysteroscopic myomectomy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to remove uterine fibroids (leiomyomas) that are located inside the uterine cavity. Uterine fibroids are noncancerous growths that can cause various symptoms, including heavy menstrual bleeding, pelvic pain, and fertility issues. Hysteroscopic myomectomy allows for the removal of these fibroids without the need for abdominal incisions.
Advantages of Hysteroscopic Myomectomy:
- Minimally Invasive: Hysteroscopic myomectomy is a minimally invasive procedure that results in no external incisions, less post-operative pain, and a faster recovery compared to traditional open surgery.
- Uterine Preservation: The procedure aims to preserve the uterus, making it a suitable option for women who wish to retain their reproductive capabilities.
- Minimal Scarring: Because there are no external incisions, there is minimal scarring associated with hysteroscopic myomectomy.
- Fertility Improvement: For women with fertility issues due to uterine fibroids in the cavity, hysteroscopic myomectomy can improve the chances of conception.
- Shorter Hospital Stay: Patients typically have a shorter hospital stay or can have the procedure performed as an outpatient.
