What is a myomectomy ?

A myomectomy is a surgical procedure to remove the fibroids in your uterus (womb). This may be required to help with heavy periods, pelvic pressure, bowel/bladder blockages, and fertility. You will be under general anaesthetic (asleep) during the surgery.

How is a myomectomy performed?

There are a number of methods, depending on the location and number of fibroids, as well as the skills of your surgeon:

  1. Hysteroscopy. Keyhole surgery performed through the vagina.

  2. Laparoscopy. Keyhole surgery performed through small holes on your belly.

  3. Laparotomy. Open abdominal surgery.
