Myomectomy (open - laparoscopic)

Myomectomy is the surgical removal of benign tumors in the uterus called fibroids. This procedure is usually performed by open or laparoscopic methods, depending on the size and number of fibroids and the patient's condition. Here is more detailed information about myomectomy:

*Open Myomectomy*
Open myomectomy is usually preferred in cases of large fibroids or multiple fibroids. In this procedure, the uterus is usually accessed through an incision and the fibroids are removed one by one. The surgery is then completed by suturing the incision sites. Open myomectomy is a method in which the surgeon has direct access to the fibroids.

*Laparoscopic Myomectomy
Laparoscopic myomectomy is less invasive and is usually preferred for the removal of small or medium-sized fibroids. In this method, a camera and surgical instruments are inserted through a small incision in the abdominal wall. The surgeon removes the fibroids by seeing the contents through the camera. The laparoscopic method offers less scarring and faster recovery.

For whom is it applied?
- Women with uterine fibroids
- Have pain or other symptoms due to fibroids
- Those who have fertility problems due to fibroids

*Healing Process*
Recovery after myomectomy can vary on an individual basis. After an open myomectomy, patients are usually hospitalized for a few days and recovery can take several weeks. Recovery after laparoscopic myomectomy can be faster and patients can usually return to normal activities sooner.

*Risks and Complications
As with any surgical procedure, myomectomy carries certain risks. Complications such as infection, bleeding, risks related to anesthesia and, rarely, uterine rupture can occur. Therefore, it is important to have a detailed discussion with your doctor and evaluate the risks before the procedure.
