Fibroid Uterus

Uterine fibroid surgery (myomectomy or hysterectomy) safely relieves symptoms like heavy bleeding and pelvic pain. The procedure removes either the fibroids themselves to preserve fertility or the uterus entirely. Surgeons use minimally invasive or traditional methods depending on the size, location, and number of your fibroids.

Myomectomy (Uterus-Preserving)

A myomectomy is designed to surgically remove noncancerous growths (fibroids) while leaving the uterus intact. This is the ideal choice for women who still wish to become pregnant or preserve their uterus

Hysterectomy (Definitive Solution)

A hysterectomy is the complete surgical removal of the uterus. This is considered the most definitive way to eliminate fibroids and is typically recommended for patients who have completed childbearing, or for whom a myomectomy is not the best option

Minimally Invasive Hysterectomy

Can be performed laparoscopically or with robotic assistance, allowing for significantly shorter hospital stays and faster healing compared to open surgery.

Abdominal Hysterectomy

Involves an open incision in the abdomen to remove the uterus, reserved for very large or complex fibroid cases.

Robotic Surgery

Similar to laparoscopic surgery, this highly advanced technique provides the surgeon with a 3D view and enhanced precision using robotic arms.

What to Expect

Pre-Operative Assessment

Your doctor will conduct detailed blood work, ultrasounds, and potentially an MRI to determine the size and location of the fibroids.
The Procedure

Conducted under general anesthesia, so you will be completely asleep and pain-free.
Recovery

Minimally invasive procedures often mean a same-day discharge or 1-day hospital stay. Traditional abdominal surgeries typically require a 1-to-2 day hospital stay and a longer period of rest at home.
