What is Myomectomy?
Myomectomy is a surgical procedure to remove fibroids (also known as uterine myomas) while preserving the uterus. It is often recommended for women who wish to maintain fertility or avoid hysterectomy.
Fibroids are non-cancerous growths that develop within or around the uterus. They can cause:
- Heavy or prolonged menstrual bleeding
- Pelvic pain or pressure
- Frequent urination
- Pain during intercourse
- Fertility difficulties
Myomectomy aims to:
- Remove symptomatic fibroids
- Relieve heavy bleeding and pelvic pressure
- Preserve reproductive potential
- Improve quality of life
At Transform Femme, we offer open, laparoscopic and hysteroscopic myomectomy depending on fibroid size, number and location.
What Happens During Surgery?
Myomectomy is performed under general anaesthetic. The surgical approach depends on the type and position of the fibroids.
Laparoscopic Myomectomy (Keyhole Surgery)
- Small abdominal incisions are made
- A laparoscope (camera) is inserted
- Fibroids are carefully removed
- The uterus is repaired with sutures
This minimally invasive technique is often suitable for moderate-sized fibroids and allows faster recovery.
Open Myomectomy (Laparotomy)
- A larger abdominal incision is made
- Multiple or large fibroids are removed
- The uterus is reconstructed carefully
This approach may be recommended for very large, numerous or deeply embedded fibroids and typically requires an inpatient stay.
Hysteroscopic Myomectomy (Submucous Fibroids)
- No external incision is required
- A hysteroscope is inserted through the vagina into the uterus
- Submucous fibroids are removed from within the uterine cavity
This is usually performed as a day case procedure and is commonly used when fibroids are located within the uterine cavity and are causing heavy bleeding or affecting fertility.
Your surgeon will recommend the safest and most effective technique based on your scans and symptoms.
Is Myomectomy Right for Me?
Myomectomy may be suitable if you:
- Have heavy menstrual bleeding caused by fibroids
- Experience pelvic pain or pressure, mainly on the urinary bladder
- Have fibroids affecting fertility
- Wish to preserve your uterus
- Prefer an alternative to hysterectomy
It may be less suitable if fibroids are extremely numerous or if you have completed your family and prefer definitive treatment.
A personalised consultation with our specialist gynaecological surgeons will determine the most appropriate surgical plan.
- Relief from heavy bleeding
- Reduction in pelvic pain and pressure
- Preservation of the uterus
- Maintained fertility potential
- Improved quality of life
- Multiple surgical options tailored to individual needs
Many women report significant improvement in symptoms following recovery.
As with any surgical procedure, myomectomy carries potential risks, including:
- Infection
- Bleeding
- Scar tissue (adhesions)
- Recurrence of fibroids
- Anaesthetic-related risks
- Rare risk of uterine weakening depending on fibroid depth
Your surgeon will discuss individual risks, recovery expectations and long-term outcomes during consultation.
