A member asked:
Hi doctors, was just wondering what is a laparoscopic myomectomy surgery ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Removal of fibroid: Laparoscopic myomectomy refers to a minimally invasive approach to removal of fibroids and uterine preservation. Generally it requires 3-4 small incisions around your belly button. Recovery is quicker and studies demonstrate efficacy and safety similar to traditional open surgery.
