What Is Myomectomy Surgery?
What is myomectomy surgery? Myomectomy surgery is an operation that removes fibroids, which are non cancerous growths in the muscle of the uterus, while leaving the uterus itself in place. Unlike a hysterectomy, which removes the whole uterus, a myomectomy operation keeps the uterus so that pregnancy stays possible. This is why uterine myomectomy is preferred for women who still want to have children.
Lap myomectomy meaning is simple: lap is short for laparoscopic, so a lap myomectomy is a myomectomy done by keyhole surgery. The surgeon uses a thin camera and fine instruments through small cuts, so there is less pain and a quicker recovery than open surgery.
When a myomectomy is advised
- Heavy or long periods, or bleeding between periods, caused by fibroids
- Pelvic pain, pressure or a feeling of fullness
- Fibroids that press on the bladder or bowel
- Fibroids that distort the uterus and affect fertility or implantation
- Repeated miscarriage linked to fibroids
Types of Myomectomy
There is more than one way to remove fibroids. The right myomectomy type depends on the size, number and position of the fibroids, and on your plans for pregnancy. These are the main myomectomy types.
Laparoscopic assisted myomectomy
Laparoscopic assisted myomectomy combines keyhole surgery with a small cut to remove larger fibroids or repair the uterus securely, when a fully keyhole approach is not ideal.
Hysteroscopic myomectomy
Fibroids inside the cavity of the uterus are removed through the cervix with no cuts on the abdomen.
Open (abdominal) myomectomy
For very large or numerous fibroids, an open myomectomy through one larger cut may be safer and is sometimes the right choice.
Laparoscopic adenomyomectomy
Laparoscopic adenomyomectomy removes areas of adenomyosis, a related condition where tissue grows into the muscle of the uterus, where it is causing symptoms.
Dr. Manjunath will explain which type suits you after reviewing your scans, and will always aim to keep the uterus strong for a future pregnancy.
Fibroids and Fertility: When Surgery Helps
Not every fibroid needs surgery. Fibroids laparoscopic surgery is advised when fibroids cause symptoms or affect fertility. As a guide, fibroid laparoscopy is usually considered when:
- A fibroid distorts the cavity of the uterus, where an embryo would implant
- Fibroids are large or growing quickly and causing symptoms
- Heavy bleeding is leading to low blood count
- Fibroids block a fallopian tube or press on the ovaries
- Earlier IVF has failed and a fibroid may be the reason
Laparoscopic Myomectomy Procedure: Steps, Time and Scars
Here is a simple overview of the myomectomy procedure, so you know what to expect. The exact plan depends on your fibroids.
The steps of myomectomy
At a patient level, the steps of myomectomy are straightforward. After general anaesthesia, the surgeon makes a few small cuts and passes a thin camera and fine instruments into the abdomen. Each fibroid is located, carefully separated from the healthy muscle and removed. The wall of the uterus is then stitched securely in layers, and the fibroid tissue is removed from the body, usually with a protected, contained technique. The lap myomectomy procedure finishes with the small cuts closed.
Principles of myomectomy
The principles of myomectomy guide every step: remove the fibroids that matter, control bleeding carefully, repair the uterine wall so it stays strong for a future pregnancy, and preserve the uterus and healthy tissue. These principles are why an experienced surgeon and good repair matter so much for later pregnancy.
Instruments and technique
Specialised laparoscopic myomectomy instruments, such as a camera, fine graspers, energy devices to control bleeding and a contained tissue removal system, allow the fibroids to be removed through small cuts. Your surgeon chooses the instruments and technique that are safest for your case.
Surgery time
Laparoscopic myomectomy surgery time usually ranges from about one to three hours, depending on the number, size and position of the fibroids. Larger or more complex fibroids take longer, which your surgeon will explain beforehand.
Scars
Laparoscopic myomectomy scars are small, usually a few cuts under one centimetre, and they fade over time. This is one of the main advantages over open surgery, where the scar is larger.
Recovery After Laparoscopic Myomectomy
Because the cuts are small, recovery after a laparoscopic myomectomy is usually quicker and more comfortable than after open surgery. Your exact recovery depends on the size and number of fibroids removed.
- A short hospital stay, often one to two days
- Mild pain, bloating or shoulder tip discomfort for a few days, managed with medicines
- Light activity within a week for many women, and heavier work a little later
- Small scars that fade over time
- Advice on when you can try to conceive, as the uterus needs time to heal
- Call the clinic at once if you have fever, heavy bleeding or severe pain
Dr. Manjunath will give you clear, written aftercare advice for your own procedure, including when it is safe to plan a pregnancy.
Pregnancy After Myomectomy
For many women, removing fibroids that were distorting the uterus improves the chance of pregnancy and lowers the risk of miscarriage. Because the uterus is repaired during surgery, your doctor will advise a waiting period, often a few months, before trying to conceive, so the wall heals fully.
Your doctor will also advise on delivery, as some women who have had a myomectomy are advised to plan a caesarean, depending on how deep the fibroids were. Dr. Manjunath will discuss all of this with you as part of your plan.
