    Preserving uterine integrity and fertility is a top priority for many patients.

    A myomectomy is a surgical procedure that removes only the fibroids while reconstructing and leaving the uterus intact.

    Depending on the location and size of the fibroids:

    Hysteroscopic Myomectomy: Performed through the vagina without any skin incisions for fibroids bulging inside the uterine cavity (submucosal).

    Robotic-Assisted Laparoscopic Myomectomy: Keyhole surgery to remove fibroids located within the uterine wall or on the outer surface, offering faster recovery and minimal scarring compared to open surgery.

    During your consultation, we review high-definition imaging to determine if a keyhole myomectomy is the safest and most effective option for your anatomical goals.
