Uterus-Preserving Fibroid Surgery

Uterus-preserving fibroid surgery (myomectomy) is a surgical method where fibroids are removed while the uterus is completely preserved. The goal is to maintain fertility.

What is Uterus-Preserving Fibroid Surgery?

Also known as myomectomy, uterus-preserving fibroid surgery is the removal of fibroids from the uterus and repair of the uterus while leaving it in place. This method is preferred especially for women who want to have children or preserve their uterus.

Surgery can be performed minimally invasively with laparoscopic, robotic, hysteroscopic, or vNOTES techniques. Assoc. Prof. Erkan Elçi has extensive experience in uterus-preserving fibroid surgery.

Surgical Methods

Methods used in uterus-preserving fibroid surgery:

- Laparoscopic myomectomy: Removal of fibroids through small abdominal incisions

  • Robotic myomectomy: Robot-assisted precise surgery

  • Hysteroscopic myomectomy: Removal through the cervix for intrauterine fibroids

  • vNOTES myomectomy: Surgery through the vaginal route without abdominal scars

    The most appropriate method is selected based on the fibroid's size, number, and location.
