Fibroid Surgery Without Removing the Uterus

Fibroid surgery without removing the uterus is a surgical approach that preserves fertility and uterine integrity while fibroids are removed.

What is Fibroid Surgery Without Removing the Uterus?

Today, uterus removal (hysterectomy) for fibroid treatment is only performed when absolutely necessary. Thanks to modern surgical techniques, the uterus can be completely preserved while fibroids are removed.

Assoc. Prof. Erkan Elçi specializes in uterus-preserving fibroid surgery and offers patients treatment with the least invasive methods. Advanced surgical techniques such as laparoscopic, robotic, hysteroscopic, and vNOTES are used.

Treatment Approach

The choice of surgical method in uterus-preserving fibroid treatment is determined by the fibroid's characteristics:

- Submucosal fibroids: Removed from inside the uterus by hysteroscopic myomectomy

  • Intramural fibroids: Removed by laparoscopic or robotic surgery

  • Subserosal fibroids: Removed by laparoscopic or vNOTES

  • Multiple fibroids: Treated with combined approaches

    The uterine healing process is closely monitored after surgery.
