How safe is it that the gyn whose specialty listings does not include myomectomy but instead hysteroctomy to perform myomectomy surgery?save -uterus

Not related: The way the physician lists his skills are not all-inclusive. Ask how many procedures did he do in a month or a year. The number should reflect the degree how much is physician involved with particular type of surgery.

Ask: It would be impractical for surgeons to list all procedures that they are qualified to perform. The first step i would suggest is to ask your doctor if this is a procedure he/she commonly performs. If so, how many have been performed in the last week? Month? Year? If you know any women who have been patients of this doctor, ask what there experience was like. Consider a 2nd opinion.
