INDICATIONS FOR CONSERVATIVE MYOMECTOMY

The reason for such a surgical intervention is the presence of a benign tumor of the uterus – myoma. The removal of fibromatous nodes of the uterus is shown exclusively for women of childbearing age. Otherwise, as a rule, it is advisable not to save the uterus, but to remove it and the appendages. Other indications include:

the absence of children in a woman and the desire to have them (it is possible to plan a pregnancy after a conservative myomectomy after 4-6 months, it proceeds normally, including with independent childbirth)
the characteristic type and location of fibromatous nodes. Myomectomy is good for small nodes on the pedicle, which are rather small in size, located on the outer surfaces of the uterus or inside it

LAPAROSCOPIC REMOVAL METHOD

Myomectomy at the Slav Med clinic is performed using laparotomy or laparoscopy. In laparoscopy, several small, small-diameter incisions are made, and a camera is inserted through them for visual inspection of the instruments. This method is the most effective, as it minimizes rehabilitation after surgery and the risk of complications, but not in all cases, removal of fibromatous nodes of the uterus is possible using laparoscopy.

RECOVERY AFTER MYOMECTOMY

After the operation, as a rule, on the second day, minimum physical activity is recommended to activate blood circulation in the pelvic organs. The hospital stay lasts up to three days, the patient is prescribed antibacterial and analgesic drugs.
