Dear Bhavna You have asked only about fibroid without asking much about your problem. FIBROIDS ARE TUMORS that arise within the muscle of the uterus forming round masses. Some women have single fibroids as large as a football, others have multiple ( up to 20 or more ) which vary in size from a peanut to golf balls and larger. The advantage of this is that patients can go home the same or next day and be back to work in 1-2 weeks. However it is important that the surgery be as complete as by laparotomy or any advantage is lost. Our center has pioneered the technique of VERTICAL DEEP LAYERED REPAIR of the muscle by laparoscopic suturing. This creates a strong repair allowing normal VAGINAL delivery even after removing larger intramural fibroids. The use of an electric morcellator to remove the fibroid tissue in long strips has made the surgery speedier so that 18 week size fibroids can be treated in 2 hours.It does not matter whether the fibroids are removed by laser, harmonic scalpel, knife or electrosurgery. The skill of the surgeron is paramount to results. |
