Hysteroscopic Myomectomy Surgery is a minimally invasive procedure used to remove uterine fibroids (myomas) that grow inside the uterine cavity. Uterine fibroids are non-cancerous growths that can develop in or on the uterus, and they are a common condition that can cause symptoms such as heavy menstrual bleeding, pelvic pain, and fertility issues.
During hysteroscopic myomectomy, a hysteroscope, which is a thin, lighted tube with a camera, is inserted through the vagina and cervix into the uterus. This allows the surgeon to visualize the inside of the uterus on a video monitor.
Using specialized instruments inserted through the hysteroscope, the surgeon carefully removes the fibroids from the uterine lining. The procedure is typically performed on an outpatient basis, meaning the patient can usually go home the same day.
Hysteroscopic myomectomy offers several advantages over traditional open surgery, including:
No Incisions: The procedure is done entirely through the vaginal canal, without the need for abdominal incisions, leading to faster recovery and minimal scarring.
Shorter Recovery Time: Patients can typically resume their normal activities within a few days to a week after the procedure.
Reduced Pain: Hysteroscopic myomectomy is associated with less post-operative pain compared to abdominal surgery.
Preserves Uterine Function: By removing only the fibroids within the uterine cavity, the rest of the uterus is preserved, which may be important for women who wish to retain their fertility.
Hysteroscopic myomectomy is an effective treatment option for women with submucosal fibroids, which are fibroids that grow inside the uterine cavity and can cause significant menstrual problems and fertility issues. It is not suitable for fibroids that grow on the outer surface of the uterus (subserosal fibroids) or within the uterine wall (intramural fibroids).
Women considering hysteroscopic myomectomy should discuss their options with a gynecologist or a qualified surgeon to determine if they are suitable candidates for the procedure based on their specific medical condition and fertility goals. To know more visit Medcy IVF website.
