LPSC myomectomy

Women who have uterine fibroids, benign tumors that can cause symptoms such as pelvic pain, heavy menstrual bleeding, or difficulties in pregnancy, may be candidates for LPSC myomectomy. Before recommending this procedure, a thorough evaluation is usually conducted to determine the patient's suitability for myomectomy and to select the optimal therapy.

Before the surgery, patients typically undergo a pelvic exam, ultrasound, or other diagnostic tests to assess the condition of the fibroids and the patient's health. It may be necessary to restrict food and drink intake several hours before the surgery. The doctor will provide detailed instructions on preparing for the surgery, including any medications that need to be discontinued before the procedure.

LPSC myomectomy is usually performed under general anesthesia. The surgeon makes several small incisions in the abdomen through which laparoscopic instruments, including a laparoscope for visualizing the inside of the abdominal cavity, are inserted. After identifying the fibroids, the surgeon carefully separates them from surrounding tissues and removes them through the small incisions. The goal of the surgery is to remove the fibroids while preserving as much healthy uterine tissue as possible, especially in women who wish to retain the possibility of pregnancy.

The results of LPSC myomectomy depend on the size and location of the fibroids, the severity of symptoms before surgery, and possible complications. Most patients experience a reduction or cessation of symptoms associated with fibroids after myomectomy. It's important to note that fibroids may recur after surgery, so additional treatment or monitoring may be required.

After the surgery, patients will receive instructions on postoperative care, activity restrictions, and signs of possible complications that may arise. Regular check-ups after surgery are important for monitoring recovery and detecting any complications.
