Fibroid Surgery

Fibroid surgery, also known as myomectomy, is a procedure to remove uterine fibroids—noncancerous growths in the uterus that can cause pain, heavy bleeding, and other complications. It is typically performed when fibroids lead to significant symptoms or interfere with fertility.

The surgery can be conducted through different methods, including laparoscopic surgery, where small incisions are made for minimally invasive access, or open surgery, involving a larger incision for more extensive cases. The goal of fibroid surgery is to alleviate symptoms while preserving the uterus, allowing women to maintain reproductive options. Recovery varies based on the surgical approach used.
