How does my surgeon decide what type of surgery is best for removing my fibroids?
BY DR. BROOKE WINNERWhen considering surgery for removing your Fibroids, it’s important to remember that this decision should be made together with your surgeon.
Here are some key points to keep in mind:
Understanding Fibroids: First, you should learn about what Fibroids are and explore all the available options for treatment.
Types of Surgery: If the surgery involves only removing the Fibroids while keeping the uterus, it’s called a myomectomy. There are different ways to perform this procedure:
Hysteroscopic Myomectomy: This method involves removing Fibroids through the vagina using a camera, which allows access to those entirely or mostly within the lining of the uterus.
Other Myomectomy Methods: If Fibroids are deeper in the uterine wall, you might consider laparoscopic, robotic, or open surgery with a bigger incision. However, many surgeries can now be performed minimally invasively if your surgeon is specially trained.
Make sure to discuss these options with your surgeon to choose the best approach tailored to your situation.
