Laparoscopic Myomectomy in Turkey

Laparoscopic Myomectomy

What is Laparoscopic Myomectomy?

Laparoscopic Myomectomy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure performed to remove uterine fibroids, which are non-cancerous growths that can develop within the muscular wall of the uterus. Using small incisions and a specialized camera called a laparoscope, surgeons can visualize and excise the fibroids, preserving the uterus and promoting faster recovery compared to traditional open surgery. This technique offers a less invasive option for women seeking relief from fibroid-related symptoms while preserving their fertility potential.

 

Laparoscopic Myomectomy Procedure

What is Myoma?

Myomas, commonly known as uterine fibroids, are benign tumors that develop within the muscular wall of the uterus. They are non-cancerous and can vary in size, causing symptoms such as heavy menstrual bleeding, pelvic pain, and pressure. While usually harmless, they may require treatment if they lead to discomfort or interfere with a woman's reproductive health.

How is Laparoscopic Myomectomy performed?

During a Laparoscopic Myomectomy, the patient is under general anesthesia. The surgeon makes several small incisions in the abdomen and inserts a laparoscope (a thin, lighted tube with a camera) and surgical instruments. The laparoscope allows the surgeon to see inside the abdomen and locate the fibroids.

Using the surgical instruments, the surgeon then carefully removes the fibroids from the uterine wall. After the fibroids are excised, the surgeon may repair the uterine wall if needed. The incisions are closed with sutures or surgical glue, and the patient can usually go home the same day or after a short hospital stay. Laparoscopic Myomectomy is a minimally invasive approach that results in less scarring, quicker recovery, and reduced post-operative discomfort compared to traditional open surgery.

Which medical field treats Laparoscopic Myomectomy?

Laparoscopic Myomectomy is typically performed by specialists in the field of gynecology. Gynecologists are medical doctors who specialize in the female reproductive system and provide care for a wide range of women's health issues, including conditions related to the uterus, ovaries, fallopian tubes, and other reproductive organs.
