I have 12 multiple uterine fibroids. Mostly intramural/submucous. I am 33 years old and wish to have children after fibroid removal. Can I remove the fibroids through laparoscopy? I can forward my scan result if I can get an email address. Thanks. |

Dear Jane Odairo It is possible to remove the fibroid by laparoscopy but it is not guaranteed that all fibroid will be removed. Fibroids that are attached to the outside of the uterus by a stalk (pedunculated myomas) are the easiest to remove laparoscopically. Many subserous myomas (close to the outer surface) can also be removed through the laparoscope. Fibroids that are deep in the wall of the uterus, or submucous are most difficult to remove laparoscopically. Although there have been successful pregnancies after laparoscopic removal of deep or multiple myomas, the real question is whether or not the uterus can be repaired as well through the laparoscope as can be done through an abdominal myomectomy.
