Laparoscopic myomectomy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to remove uterine fibroids or myomas by preserving the uterus. It is commonly recommended for women experiencing heavy bleeding, pelvic pain, infertility or pressure symptoms due to fibroids.
During the procedure, the surgeon inserts a camera through a laparoscope. The Laparoscope displays images from inside the uterus to the surgeon. The fibroids are extracted from the uterus using surgical instruments and passed through the remaining incisions.
What is Laparoscopic Myomectomy?
Laparoscopic myomectomy involves the use of a laparoscope to visualize and remove fibroids through small incisions in the abdomen. This procedure offers a less invasive alternative to open surgery and allows faster recovery with minimal scarring.
It is ideal for:
Women with symptomatic fibroids who wish to preserve fertility
Patients seeking shorter hospital stay and recovery time
Those with multiple or large fibroids needing removal without uterus removal

Factors Affecting the Laparoscopic Myomectomy Cost
The total cost of laparoscopic myomectomy depends on various factors:
Size and Number of Fibroids: Larger or multiple fibroids require longer surgical time.
Surgeon's Experience: Advanced laparoscopic surgeons may charge more.
Hospital Location: Charges vary by region and hospital facilities.
Length of Stay: Extended recovery or observation may increase costs.
Use of Advanced Tools: Some cases require special laparoscopic instruments or morcellators.
Post-operative Care: Includes medications, imaging and follow-up visits.
Insurance Coverage: Usually covered if fibroids cause significant symptoms or complications.
How is Laparoscopic Myomectomy Done?
Laparoscopic Myomectomy is a complex surgical procedure that may require the patient to stay in the hospital for several days.
The patient must remove all clothing and accessories and wear a hospital gown.
Before the surgery, the patient is placed on an operating table and given a general anaesthetic.
An incision on the abdomen is made to gain access to the inside of the abdomen. Bikini-line incisions can be made in two ways: a horizontal incision that follows your natural skin line, which is usually less painful and causes less scarring than a vertical incision.
A vertical incision is used for larger uterine fibroids; this incision begins in the middle of the abdomen and travels down to just above the pubic bone. This increased access makes it easier for the surgeon to navigate and reduces bleeding.
The fibroids are identified and extracted one at a time from the uterus.
The uterine muscle is firmly sewn back together.
Doctors closely monitor patients' recovery, and patients may be admitted to the hospital for up to a week after the procedure.
What are the Risks Involved in Laparoscopic Myomectomy?
In general, laparoscopic myomectomy is a safe surgery, but some risks can be seen, like
Blood loss
Scar tissue
Damage
Tumours
Infection
Anaemia

Laparoscopic myomectomy surgeries are generally successful, with approximately 80-90% of patients reporting meaningful symptom relief and a low risk of complications.
Post-operative Laparoscopic Myomectomy Pain: Myomectomy performed using laparoscopic technique usually results in mild-moderate post-operative pain which will be taken care of with analgesics.
Patients usually rest 1 to 2 weeks after a laparoscopic myomectomy before returning to light activities, and it takes approximately 4 to 6 weeks for full recovery.
Risks of myomectomy Myomectomy is usually performed as a low to moderate risk surgery but can depend on the size and general location of fibroids along with the overall health of a patient.
Disadvantages of Laparoscopic myomectomy are that the learning curve is longer for the surgeons; visibility is limited if large or many fibroids need to be removed.
