🌸 Not every fibroid surgery is performed the same way.
Today, women have multiple surgical options for myomectomy (fibroid removal), and choosing the right approach depends on factors like the size, number, and location of the fibroids, as well as your future pregnancy plans.
Here’s a quick comparison:
🔹 Open Myomectomy – Involves a larger incision, longer hospital stay, and a longer recovery period. While it may still be required in selected complex cases, it is generally less preferred when a minimally invasive approach is suitable.
🔹 Laparoscopic Myomectomy – A minimally invasive technique using small incisions, offering less pain, smaller scars, and faster recovery compared to open surgery.
🔹 Robotic Myomectomy – Also minimally invasive, with robotic technology providing enhanced precision, improved visualization, and greater dexterity. In appropriate patients, this can help surgeons perform complex procedures while preserving the uterus with the benefits of minimally invasive surgery.
The best surgical approach is always individualized based on your condition after a thorough evaluation by your gynaecologist.
