Myomectomy
Uterine fibroids are benign growths in the uterus that are made up of connective tissues and muscle cells, and there isn’t a clear reason for them. There might be one or multiple ones, and they differ in size. These fibroids cause numerous symptoms, such as heavy bleeding during periods, longer and more frequent menstrual bleedings, pain, a growing stomach area, urination problems, and constipation. Uterine fibroids don’t affect pregnancy most often, but when there is an impact or when the symptoms worsen, this condition must be managed. In cases where medications and other treatments don’t work, uterine fibroids are removed. Removing the fibroids could be done laparoscopically by making small incisions in the abdomen and inserting the camera and specific tools through them, or surgically by making an abdomen incision. Usually, the patient is put under general anesthesia. The procedure usually takes 2-3 hours depending on the procedure type, the size of the fibroids, and their number, and the patient might need to stay in the hospital for one or two days if the procedure was through an abdominal incision.

Ovarian cystectomy can be done with two methods: surgically by opening the abdomen, which is used when the cysts are large or if they might be cancerous, or endoscopically , which is the most common method. It’s done by making a few small incisions, then inserting a camera and the special tools, and the cysts are removed through these incisions. The patient must be under general anesthesia for both methods. Usually, ovarian cystectomy takes one or two hours, and the patient can return home on the same day when it’s done laparoscopically, while in open surgery, she might need to stay in the hospital overnight.
