Introduction
For many women in Perambur and across North Chennai, being diagnosed with uterine fibroids can feel overwhelming. Questions about surgery, recovery, and future fertility often add to the anxiety. The good news is that today, laparoscopic myomectomy offers a safe, effective, and minimally invasive way to remove fibroids without the need for open surgery. This advanced procedure has transformed the treatment experience for thousands of women, allowing faster recovery and significantly less discomfort. At Srinivas Priya Hospital in Perambur, Chennai, our experienced gynecology team is committed to guiding every patient through their treatment journey with clarity, care, and compassion.
What Are Uterine Fibroids?
Uterine fibroids are non-cancerous growths that develop in or around the uterus. They are among the most common gynecological conditions affecting women of reproductive age. While some women experience no symptoms, others may deal with:
- Heavy or prolonged menstrual bleeding
- Pelvic pain or pressure
- Frequent urination
- Difficulty conceiving or carrying a pregnancy
- Lower back pain
If any of these symptoms sound familiar, it is important to consult a qualified gynecologist for a proper evaluation. Fibroids are usually diagnosed through a pelvic ultrasound or an MRI scan.
What Is Laparoscopic Myomectomy?
Laparoscopic myomectomy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure to remove uterine fibroids. Unlike traditional open surgery, which requires a large abdominal incision, this technique uses small keyhole incisions through which a thin camera (laparoscope) and surgical instruments are inserted.
The surgeon views the uterus on a high-definition monitor and carefully removes the fibroids while preserving the uterus. This is especially important for women who wish to retain their fertility.
Key benefits of laparoscopic myomectomy include:
- Smaller incisions and minimal scarring
- Reduced blood loss during surgery
- Shorter hospital stay (often 1 to 2 days)
- Faster return to daily activities
- Lower risk of post-operative complications compared to open surgery
Who Is a Suitable Candidate?
Laparoscopic myomectomy may be recommended for women who have symptomatic fibroids that are affecting quality of life or fertility, and whose fibroid size and location are suitable for a minimally invasive approach. Your doctor will assess your individual condition, fibroid characteristics, and overall health before recommending this procedure.
It is important to understand that not every patient is the same. A thorough consultation and diagnostic evaluation are essential before deciding on any surgical option.
What to Expect: Before, During, and After
Before surgery, patients undergo blood tests, imaging, and a pre-anesthetic check-up. On the day of the procedure, general anesthesia is administered. The surgery typically takes between one and three hours depending on the number and size of fibroids.
After surgery, most patients experience mild discomfort that is managed with medication. Walking is encouraged early to support recovery. Most women are able to resume light activities within one to two weeks and return to normal routines within three to four weeks.
Regular follow-up visits with your gynecologist are important to monitor recovery and ensure the best outcome.
