Laparoscopic Myomectomy
Laparoscopic Myomectomy is a surgical procedure that involves the removal of uterine fibroids using minimally invasive techniques. Here’s everything you need to know about Lap Myomectomy, including why it’s done, how it’s performed, and its advantages and potential complications.
What is Lap Myomectomy?
Lap Myomectomy is a surgical procedure used to remove uterine fibroids, which are non-cancerous growths that develop in the uterus. Unlike traditional open surgery, Lap Myomectomy is performed using minimally invasive techniques, such as laparoscopy or robotic-assisted surgery.
Why is Lap Myomectomy done?
Lap Myomectomy is typically recommended for women who experience the following symptoms due to uterine fibroids:
- Heavy or prolonged menstrual periods
- Pelvic pain or pressure
- Frequent urination
- Constipation
- Backache
- Infertility
How is Lap Myomectomy performed?
During Lap Myomectomy, small incisions are made in the abdomen, through which a laparoscope and other specialized instruments are inserted. The laparoscope allows the surgeon to view the uterus and fibroids on a monitor, while the instruments are used to remove the fibroids.
Advantages of Lap Myomectomy
- Minimally invasive: Lap Myomectomy is performed using small incisions, resulting in less scarring and shorter recovery time.
- Preserves the uterus: Lap Myomectomy removes the fibroids while preserving the uterus, which is important for women who wish to become pregnant in the future.
- Reduced blood loss: Lap Myomectomy has been associated with less blood loss compared to traditional open surgery.
- Shorter hospital stay: Patients can usually go home on the same day or the next day following Lap Myomectomy.
Complications of Lap Myomectomy
Although Lap Myomectomy is generally safe, there are some potential risks and complications, such as:
- Infection
- Bleeding
- Damage to nearby organs
- Scar tissue formation
- Recurrence of fibroids
