Laparoscopic Myomectomy
Fibroid Removal Surgery That Preserves the Uterus & Fertility
At Oorkid Hospital & IVF Centre, laparoscopic myomectomy is performed to remove uterine fibroids while preserving the uterus, especially for women who wish to retain fertility or avoid hysterectomy.
This minimally invasive procedure focuses on symptom relief, reproductive goals, and faster recovery—using advanced laparoscopic techniques and experienced surgical care.
What Is Laparoscopic Myomectomy?
Laparoscopic myomectomy is a minimally invasive surgery in which fibroids (myomas) are removed from the uterus using small keyhole incisions, without removing the uterus itself.
It is often recommended for women who:
- Have symptomatic fibroids
- Wish to conceive in the future
- Want uterus-preserving treatment
Compared to open surgery, laparoscopic myomectomy offers less pain, smaller scars, and quicker recovery.
When Is Laparoscopic Myomectomy Recommended?
Myomectomy may be advised when fibroids cause:
- Heavy or prolonged menstrual bleeding
- Pelvic pain or pressure
- Infertility or repeated pregnancy loss (in selected cases)
- Rapidly growing fibroids
- Symptoms not responding to medical treatment
Your doctor evaluates fibroid size, number, and location before recommending surgery.
How Is the Surgery Performed?
- Small abdominal keyhole incisions
- Use of a laparoscope (camera) for precise visualization
- Careful removal of fibroids from the uterus
- Reconstruction of the uterine wall
The uterus is preserved, and surrounding organs are protected using advanced surgical techniques.
Benefits of Laparoscopic Myomectomy

Recovery After Laparoscopic Myomectomy
- Mild to moderate pain managed with medications

Your doctor will guide you regarding wound care, activity restrictions, and follow-up visits.
Pregnancy After Laparoscopic Myomectomy
- Pregnancy is often possible after proper healing
- A waiting period is usually recommended before conception
- Mode of delivery is decided based on uterine healing and obstetric factors
At Oorkid, fertility goals are considered before surgery planning to support future pregnancy outcomes.
Is Laparoscopic Myomectomy Always Possible?
Not all fibroids can be removed laparoscopically. In some cases, alternative approaches may be safer depending on:
- Very large fibroids
- Multiple deep fibroids
- Specific uterine locations
Your surgeon will recommend the safest and most effective treatment option.

Will I need a cesarean delivery after myomectomy?
