Laparoscopic Myomectomy in Dubai
What is Myomectomy Surgery?
Myomectomy translates to “surgical removal of fibroids” (myoma = fibroids, ectomy = removal). Women with symptomatic fibroids who do not want a hysterectomy typically opt for this surgery. A keyhole technique (laparoscopically) or an open abdominal approach (by making a wider surgical incision on the belly) can be used to accomplish a myomectomy.
Different Types of Myomectomy in Dubai
There are three main types of myomectomy:
- Open myomectomy (or abdominal myomectomy)
- Laparoscopic myomectomy (minimally invasive)
- Hysteroscopic myomectomy
Factors to consider while choosing the type of myomectomy
- The size of the fibroid
- Amount of fibroids
- Where the fibroids are in your uterus
Benefits of Laparoscopic Myomectomy in Dubai
Laparoscopic myomectomy in Dubai by Dr Pranjali Singh is a surgical procedure that removes uterine fibroids while minimizing the invasiveness of traditional open surgery. It offers several benefits, including:
Minimally invasive: Laparoscopic myomectomy in Dubai involves making small incisions in the abdomen, through which specialized surgical instruments and a camera are inserted. This approach results in more minor scars, lesser pain, and a shorter recovery than open surgery.
Preservation of the uterus: Laparoscopic myomectomy allows for removing fibroids while preserving the uterus. This is particularly beneficial for women who wish to maintain their fertility or avoid a hysterectomy.
Reduced blood loss: The laparoscopic technique uses precise cauterization and suturing techniques, minimizing blood loss during the procedure. This reduces the need for blood transfusions and lowers the risk of complications associated with excessive bleeding.
Faster recovery: With smaller incisions, laparoscopic myomectomy typically leads to a quicker recovery than open surgery. Patients often experience less post-operative pain, shorter hospital stays, and faster return to normal activities.
Decreased risk of complications: The minimally invasive nature of laparoscopic myomectomy is associated with a lower risk of post-operative infections, adhesions, and incisional hernias.
Improved cosmetic outcome: The smaller incisions used in laparoscopic myomectomy result in minimal scarring, providing a more favourable cosmetic outcome than larger incisions associated with open surgery.
Effective fibroid removal surgery in Dubai: Laparoscopic myomectomy allows surgeons to effectively remove fibroids, relieving heavy pelvic pain, menstrual bleeding, and pressure while preserving the healthy surrounding tissue.
Note💡
After a myomectomy, new fibroids may develop. Younger people (under 40) with multiple fibroids are more likely to develop additional fibroids in the future. There is less risk of reoccurring fibroids in those close to menopause or who only have a few.
What is the recovery like after myomectomy surgery?
Recovery after myomectomy surgery varies, but here are the key points:
- Hospital Stay: In Laparoscopic myomectomy, you can return home the same day.
- Pain Management: Medications will be prescribed to manage post-operative pain.
- Physical Recovery: Normal activities can resume in two weeks.
- Menstrual Changes: Expect changes in the menstrual cycle initially.
- Follow-up Appointments: Attend follow-up appointments to monitor recovery.
Here’s what to expect post Laparoscopic Myomectomy
- Bleeding and discharge from the vagina for a few weeks.
- During the first week following surgery, refrain from lifting anything heavier than 5 to 10 pounds. If you underwent open abdominal surgery, you might have to wait longer.
- No sexual activity for six weeks. During your rehabilitation, nothing should enter your vagina.
- Step up your activity level gradually. Refrain from returning to your regular activities too quickly.
