Laparoscopic Fibroid Removal Surgery in Tricity
Laparoscopic Fibroid Removal
Uterine fibroids can be surgically removed using a minimally invasive technique known as laparoscopic fibroid removal or laparoscopic myomectomy.
Uterine fibroids are noncancerous growths of the uterus that commonly develop during the reproductive years. While many fibroids may not cause symptoms, some can lead to heavy menstrual bleeding, pelvic discomfort and pressure-related symptoms.
Treatment planning is based on the size, number and location of fibroids along with your symptoms and overall health.
Invasive Surgery
Small abdominal incisions allow the surgeon to access and remove suitable uterine fibroids.
Symptoms of Uterine Fibroids
Fibroids are usually benign, but depending on their size and location they may cause troublesome symptoms.
Pelvic Pain
Fibroids may cause pelvic discomfort, heaviness or ongoing lower abdominal pain.
Heavy Menstrual Bleeding
Some fibroids can be associated with heavier or prolonged menstrual bleeding.
Pressure Symptoms
Larger fibroids may place pressure on the bladder, rectum or surrounding pelvic structures.
How is Laparoscopic Fibroid Removal Performed?
Before surgery, Dr. Sarita Malik evaluates the patient's medical history, symptoms and imaging findings to determine whether a laparoscopic approach is suitable.
Preoperative Assessment
Medical history and appropriate imaging such as ultrasound or MRI may be reviewed to understand the size, number and location of the fibroids.
General Anaesthesia
General anaesthesia is used so that the patient remains unconscious and pain-free during surgery.
Small Abdominal Incisions
Small incisions are made in the abdominal wall to allow access for the laparoscope and surgical instruments.
Laparoscopic Access
Carbon dioxide is used to create working space inside the abdomen so the pelvic organs can be viewed clearly.
Fibroid Removal While Preserving the Uterus
The laparoscope gives the surgeon a magnified view of the uterus and fibroids while specialised instruments are used to perform the procedure.
Laparoscope & Camera
A thin laparoscope with a camera and light is inserted to allow the uterus and fibroids to be viewed on a monitor.
Fibroid Removal
The fibroids are carefully separated and removed while aiming to preserve the structure and integrity of the uterus.
Fibroid Extraction
The surgeon uses the appropriate extraction technique according to the characteristics of the removed fibroids.
Closure of Incisions
At the end of the procedure the abdominal incisions are carefully closed using appropriate surgical closure methods.
The laparoscope provides a detailed view of the pelvic organs to assist precise surgical work.
Recovery After Laparoscopic Fibroid Removal
Recovery is Usually Faster Than Open Surgery
Many patients are able to leave the hospital on the same day or the following day depending on the complexity of surgery and their overall condition.
0–1
Pain control, mobilisation and general recovery are monitored after surgery.
Days
Light walking and gradual activity can begin according to your surgeon's instructions.
Weeks
Many women gradually return to regular daily activity as discomfort and fatigue improve.
Up
Follow-up helps assess healing and address any postoperative symptoms or concerns.
Benefits of Laparoscopic Myomectomy
In suitable patients, a laparoscopic approach may offer several advantages compared with traditional open abdominal surgery.
Smaller Incisions
Laparoscopic surgery is performed through small abdominal incisions.
Reduced Blood Loss
Minimally invasive techniques may help reduce blood loss in suitable cases.
Quicker Recovery
Recovery and hospital stay may be shorter compared with open surgery.
Less Postoperative Discomfort
Some patients experience less postoperative pain compared with larger abdominal incisions.
Is Laparoscopic Myomectomy Suitable for Everyone?
Laparoscopic myomectomy may not be suitable for every patient. The surgical approach depends on individual fibroid characteristics and the patient's overall medical situation.
Size of the fibroids
Number of fibroids
Location of the fibroids
Reproductive goals and uterine health
Treatment Should Be Individualised
