Hysteroscopy Myomectomy Surgery: Detailed Overview What is Hysteroscopy Myomectomy? A hysteroscopy myomectomy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to remove uterine fibroids (myomas) from inside the uterus. This procedure is done using a hysteroscope, a thin, lighted tube that is inserted through the vagina and cervix into the uterus. Indications for Hysteroscopy Myomectomy Heavy menstrual bleeding Pelvic pain or pressure Infertility or recurrent miscarriages Abnormal uterine bleeding Anemia due to heavy periods Pre-Surgery Preparation Medical Evaluation: Your doctor will review your medical history, perform a physical exam, and may order imaging tests (e.g., ultrasound, MRI) to evaluate the size, number, and location of the fibroids. Medication: You may be given medication to help thin the lining of the uterus or to manage pain and inflammation. Fasting: You will likely need to fast for a certain period before the surgery. Consent: You will need to sign a consent form after discussing the risks, benefits, and alternatives with your surgeon. The Procedure Anesthesia: The procedure is typically performed under general or local anesthesia. Hysteroscope Insertion: The hysteroscope is inserted through the vagina and cervix into the uterine cavity. Visual Inspection: The surgeon uses the hysteroscope to inspect the inside of the uterus and locate the fibroids. Removal of Fibroids: Specialized instruments passed through the hysteroscope are used to cut away and remove the fibroids. The pieces are then removed through the hysteroscope. End of Procedure: Once the fibroids are removed, the hysteroscope is withdrawn, and the procedure is complete. Post-Surgery Care Recovery Room: You will be monitored in a recovery room until the effects of the anesthesia wear off. Pain Management: Pain relievers may be prescribed to manage any discomfort. Activity Restrictions: Avoid strenuous activities, heavy lifting, and s-exual intercourse for a specified period as advised by your doctor. Follow-Up: Schedule follow-up appointments to ensure proper healing and to address any complications. Benefits Minimally Invasive: Smaller incisions, less pain, and faster recovery compared to open surgery. Reduced Blood Loss: Lower risk of excessive bleeding. Preservation of Uterus: Maintains fertility and menstrual function. Shorter Hospital Stay: Often performed as an outpatient procedure. Risks and Complications Infection Heavy bleeding Injury to the uterus or surrounding organs Scar tissue formation Recurrence of fibroids Recovery Time Recovery time varies but is typically shorter than that of traditional open surgery. Most patients can return to normal activities within a few days to a week, depending on individual circumstances and the extent of the surgery. |
