Myoma resection is a surgical procedure to remove fibroids, benign tumors of the uterus that can lead to symptoms such as heavy bleeding or pain. Depending on the size and location of the fibroid, the operation can be performed hysteroscopically, laparoscopically or by laparotomy.

Hysteroscopic myoma resection 

Hysteroscopic myoma resection is a minimally invasive procedure used to remove fibroids in the uterus. In this procedure, a thin-walled endoscope, called a hysteroscope, is inserted through the vagina and cervix to reach directly into the uterus. This allows the gynecologist to precisely identify and remove the fibroid without the need for an abdominal incision.

Hysteroscopic myoma resection is particularly suitable for women with small to medium-sized fibroids that are easily accessible from the uterine cavity. The procedure offers numerous advantages, including a shorter recovery time, less post-operative discomfort and a minimally invasive method of removing the fibroid, which reduces the risk of scarring and complications.

We have extensive expertise in performing hysteroscopic myoma resections using a resectoscope or shaver and are available to answer any questions or concerns you may have.

Laparoscopic myoma removal 

Laparoscopic fibroid removal is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to remove fibroids in the uterus. During this procedure, small incisions are made in the abdomen through which a laparoscopic instrument is inserted. This instrument allows the surgeon to identify, dissect and finally remove the fibroid while sparing the surrounding tissue.

Laparoscopic fibroid removal has several advantages over traditional open surgery, including a shorter recovery time and less pain after the procedure. Due to the minimally invasive nature of the procedure, most women can return to their normal activities just a few days after surgery.

Abdominal myoma resection 

Abdominal myoma enucleation is a surgical procedure to remove fibroids in the uterus, which is performed via an abdominal incision, also known as a laparotomy. This procedure is usually used for larger fibroids or if the fibroids are in an unfavorable position within the uterus.

During abdominal myoma enucleation, a horizontal or vertical incision is made in the lower abdomen to gain access to the uterus. The fibroids are then identified, isolated and removed, while the surrounding tissue is spared as much as possible. Once the fibroids have been removed, the uterus and abdominal wall are closed again.

Although abdominal fibroid enucleation is more invasive than the laparoscopic method, it may be necessary in certain cases to effectively remove larger fibroids and prevent complications. A longer recovery time is required after the operation and a longer hospital stay may be required compared to laparoscopic myoma enucleation.
