Laparoscopic myomectomy removes uterine fibroids while keeping the uterus, and at THE CLINICS it is done by keyhole surgery at THE CLINICS MISC, Hauz Khas. Consultations are with Dr Niti Vijay (gynaecologist and fertility consultant, DMC Reg. No. 6333, 15+ years; female gynaecologist) at THE CLINICS Green Park and Dr Yogendra Singh Chandel (obstetrics and gynaecology, laparoscopic and hysteroscopic surgery, DMC Reg. No. 124660).

When is myomectomy needed?

Fibroids are non-cancerous growths in or around the uterus. Surgery is considered when they cause heavy periods, pain or pressure, or affect fertility, and medicines are not enough. Many small fibroids without symptoms only need monitoring; your gynaecologist will advise after examination and an ultrasound.

How is laparoscopic myomectomy done?

Under general anaesthesia, the fibroids are removed through small keyhole incisions and the uterus is repaired with stitches. Fibroids inside the cavity of the uterus may be removed by hysteroscopy, through the vagina, with no cut. The approach depends on the size, number and position of the fibroids.

What is the difference between myomectomy and hysterectomy?

Myomectomy removes only the fibroids; the uterus is kept and fertility can be preserved. Hysterectomy removes the uterus, so pregnancy is no longer possible. Your gynaecologist recommends a procedure based on your age, symptoms and wish for pregnancy.

How long is the hospital stay and recovery?

Many patients go home the same day after laparoscopic myomectomy, and some the next day. Back to work in 2–3 days is possible for many patients. Your gynaecologist will advise on lifting and exercise for your case.

Can I get pregnant after myomectomy?

Many women can conceive after laparoscopic myomectomy, because the uterus is kept. THE CLINICS advises waiting 3–6 months after surgery before trying to conceive, to allow healing. Your gynaecologist will advise how a future pregnancy and delivery should be planned.

Can fibroids come back?

New fibroids can grow after myomectomy, because the uterus is kept. Your gynaecologist explains your own risk and the follow-up ultrasound plan.

What does myomectomy cost?

Cost is an estimate after examination. It depends on the size and number of fibroids, the approach (laparoscopic or hysteroscopic), the anaesthesia and the length of stay. Insurance facilities available.
