Myomectomy is done by three procedures :

• Abdominal myomectomy
• Laproscopic myomectomy
• Hysteroscopic myomectomy

In abdominal myomectomy a horizontal 3-4 inch long incision is being made just above your pubic bone or a vertical incision is made just below your belly button to just above your pubic bone. After making the incision, the fibroids are removed from the wall of the uterus and then sutures are being placed.

In laproscopic myomectomy, you will be given general anaesthesia and four small incision of half inch will be made in your lower part of abdomen and your stomach will be filled with CO2 gas to check inside your abdomen. Then a laproscope will b e placed through the incision which has camera at one end and a small incision will be placed at other end, the fibroids are cut by the instruments and then the instrument is removed and the gas is released and the incision is closed.

In this procedure a thin lighted scope will be placed  through your vagina or cervix into your uterus. Then a special liquid will be placed into your uterus for widening it, a wire loop is being used to shave out the pieces of fibroids.

The surgery is being done under general anaesthesia.

Abdominal myomectomy is done if large uterine fibroids are present. Laproscopic myomectomy is done if the fibroids are smaller in size and less in number and hysteroscopic myomectomy is done if the fibroids inside the uterus are smaller and it involves removal through the vagina.

This procedure is done under general anaesthesia, first an  horizontal incision is being made in the lower part of abdomen just above your pubic bone.  Then a vertical incision is made just below your belly button just above your pubic bone, this incision is less commonly used but it can be used if the fibroids are larger. Once the incision are made fibroids are removed from the wall of the uterus and the uterine muscles are being stitched.

1 week for stitch removal and 6 weeks for full recovery.

You may have a brown or reddish brown vaginal discharge or spotting for a few weeks or until your first period. This is normal. Expect your first two periods to start early or late.

The swelling will take several weeks to go down, may take about 4 to 6 weeks to fully recover. It is important to avoid lifting while you are recovering so that you can heal.

6 weeks from surgery

It depends on the age of the patient. If patient is already in menopause, then chances of recurrence are very minimal. For females who are still getting regular cycles, doctor can give an injection (during procedure or after 7 days of procedure) to avoid recurrence for another 5 years. This way, patient can fulfil the desire of motherhood, if that’s the primary factor.
