Myomectomy in Sydney
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:
Hysteroscopy. Keyhole surgery performed through the vagina.
Laparoscopy. Keyhole surgery performed through small holes on your belly.
Laparotomy. Open abdominal surgery.
