Myomectomy
Myomectomy is a surgical procedure that removes visible uterine fibroids from the uterine wall. Myomectomy, like uterine firboid embolization, leaves the uterus in place and may, therefore preserve, the woman’s ability to have children. There are several ways to perform myomectom, including hysteroscopic myomectomy, laproscopic myomectomy and abdominal myomectomy.
While myomectomy is frequently successful in controlling symptoms, the more uterine fibroids there are in a patient’s uterus, generally, the less successful the surgery. In addition, fibroids may grow back several years after myomectomy.
