Introduction

Myomectomy is the procedure of first choice for women wishing to preserve fertility or to refuse to undergo a total hysterectomy. It is a safe and efficacious procedure for normalization of uterine function and symptom relief caused by fibroids.

What is Fibroid Removal (Myomectomy)?

Myomectomy is a surgical operation for the excision of fibroids but retention of the uterus. Surgeons have alluded to a surgical approach selection based on different factors including the size, position, and number of fibroids in the successful complete extraction of the uterus with reduced damage to the uterus.

Fibroids are categorized based on their location:

  • Intramural Fibroids: Develop within the muscular wall of the uterus.
  • Submucosal Fibroids: Protrudes into the uterine cavity.
  • Subserosal Fibroids: Grow on the outer surface of the uterus.
  • Pedunculated Fibroids: Attached to the uterus by a stalk.

Why is Fibroid Removal Needed?

Fibroid removal is recommended for women experiencing:

  • Heavy or Prolonged Menstrual Bleeding:
  • Causes anemia and affects daily activities.
  • Pelvic Pain or Pressure: Pelvic Pain or Pressure
  • Discomfort is caused by large fibroids pressing on nearby organs.
  • Infertility:
  • Fibroids interfere with conception or pregnancy.
  • Recurrent Miscarriages: 
  • Fibroids may affect the uterine milieu, causing miscarriage.
  • Bladder or Bowel Issues: Bladder or Bowel Issues:
  • Fibroids compressing the bladder/urethra can result in the syndrome of looking up to urinate (or the same) and constipation syndrome.
  • Rapid Fibroid Growth: 
  • An increase in the volume of fibroids may suggest the necessity to conduct surgery.

Types of Myomectomy Procedures

Abdominal Myomectomy:

  • Performed through an open abdominal incision.
  • Ideal for large or multiple fibroids.

Laparoscopic Myomectomy:

  • A tiny cannula (quite a small incision) and guided by vision (to look into the body).
  • Suitable for smaller fibroids and offers quicker recovery.

Hysteroscopic Myomectomy:

  • Performed through the vagina and cervix without external incisions.
  • Effective for submucosal fibroids protruding into the uterine cavity.

Robotic-Assisted Myomectomy:

  • Uses robotic technology for enhanced precision and control.
  • Ideal for complex cases requiring meticulous dissection.

Procedure Steps

Pre-Surgery Evaluation:

  • Pelvic examination, ultrasound, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), quantification of the sizes of the myomas, area of involvement, and location.
  • The medical team has to conduct blood tests and clear anesthesia before the surgery to prepare the patient.

Anesthesia:

  • The medical team provides general anesthesia to profoundly sedate the patient for the procedure they will perform.

Fibroid Removal:

  • The surgeon cauterizes the fibroids in the perivaginal area and leaves the structure of the uterus under the procedure in place.
  • At least, laparoscopic/robotic access is gained by a few small injuries and fibroids are morselized (to shreds) during extraction.

Closure:

  • The uterine wall is closed by sutures and incisional sutures, as well as surgical adhesives.

Post-Surgery Care:

  • Medications are provided to manage pain and prevent infection.
  • Patients are tracked by hours or days of operative access.

Benefits of Myomectomy

  • Symptom Relief: Eliminates heavy bleeding, pelvic pain, and pressure.
  • Preserves Fertility: Retains the uterus for future pregnancies.
  • Improved Quality of Life: Alleviates fibroid-related discomfort and restores normal uterine function.
  • Minimally Invasive Options: Early postoperative recovery and scarred improvement are offered by the laparoscopic and robotic approach.
  • Prevention of Complications: Reduces the risk of fibroid-related infertility and miscarriages.

Cost of Fibroid Removal 

  • United States: $10,000 – $20,000 
  • United Kingdom: $8,000 – $15,000 
  • Thailand: $3,000 – $7,000 
  • India: $2,000 – $5,000
