What Are Uterine Fibroids and How Do They Affect Fertility?
Uterine fibroids (leiomyomas) are non-cancerous muscular tumors that develop within the uterine walls. While many women experience no symptoms, submucosal and intramural fibroids can distort the endometrial cavity, interfere with embryo implantation, and cause heavy menstrual bleeding resulting in severe chronic anemia.
Myomectomy vs. Hysterectomy: Why Preserving the Uterus Matters
For women desiring future pregnancy or those who prefer keeping their organ, a myomectomy extracts only the fibroid nodules while rebuilding the uterine muscle layer by layer. Unlike open laparotomy which leaves large abdominal scars and requires 6 weeks of bed rest, laparoscopic myomectomy achieves this through 3 to 4 tiny keyhole incisions under 4K magnification.
“The true benchmark of laparoscopic myomectomy is not just removing the fibroid, but the meticulous triple-layer barbed suture repair of the uterine wall to prevent uterine rupture during future natural childbirth.”
Advanced Techniques for Blood Loss Prevention
At our Lucknow surgical center, we employ diluted vasopressin hydro-dissection and temporary uterine artery occlusion clips. These minimal access innovations reduce blood loss to under 50 ml, eliminating the need for blood transfusions and allowing discharge within 24 to 36 hours.
