Myomectomy (myoma = fibroid, ectomy = removal) literally means the surgical removal of fibroids. It is the procedure of choice for women who have symptomatic fibroids and do not wish to have a hysterectomy. Laparoscopic myomectomy offers a number of advantages over open abdominal surgery, including:
- A better and faster recovery.
- A short hospital stay.
- A better cosmetic result
- Fewer adhesions as a result of the procedure.
- Comparable pregnancy rates.
