What is Laparoscopic Myomectomy?

Laparoscopic myomectomy is a minimally invasive surgical technique that is used to remove uterine fibroids without the removal of the uterus. The procedure takes place through small cuts made in the abdomen with the help of special instruments and a thin camera called a laparoscope, which is used instead of the traditional open surgery. Many women prefer myomectomy laparoscopic surgery due to its benefits of having a shorter hospital stay, less discomfort after the surgery, less scarring, and a quicker recovery rate when compared to traditional surgery.

Who Needs Laparoscopic Myomectomy?

Laparoscopic myomectomy may be recommended for you if you have:


  • Fertility-related uterine fibroids
  • Menstruation that is heavy or lasts a long time
  • Pressure or pain in the pelvis
  • Recurrent miscarriages
  • Affecting the shape of the uterine cavity
  • Difficulty conceiving naturally
  • Rapidly growing fibroids
  • Pain during intercourse
  • Due to pressure from fibroids, frequent urination occurs
  • Large fibroids that are uncomfortable

Laparoscopic myomectomy surgery may be ideal for women who want to keep their uterus and their ability to have children.

Step-by-Step Process of Laparoscopic Myomectomy

Step 1: Initial Consultation

During this appointment, the doctor will talk with you about your symptoms, family history, menstrual periods, past pregnancies, and health issues. This assessment can help to decide if laparoscopic myomectomy is the most appropriate treatment for your fibroids.

Step 2: Diagnostic Evaluation

Pelvic ultrasound, transvaginal ultrasound, MRI scans, blood tests and fertility evaluation may be conducted. These investigations are useful to help the surgeon make a diagnosis and to formulate an individual plan for you.

Step 3: Treatment Planning

Several factors are taken into account when evaluating fibroids, including their size, location, symptoms, and plans for pregnancy. The doctor lets her know what he expects, any risks involved, the recovery process, and preparation for surgery.

Step 4: Anaesthesia Administration

If a general anaesthetic is used, the anaesthetist will be a specialist who will put you to sleep and make you feel comfortable during the surgery. For safety, your vital signs (heart rate, blood pressure, blood oxygen level, etc.) are watched at all times.

Step 5: Small Incisions

The laparoscope, which has a high definition camera, is placed through one incision and special surgical equipment is placed through the other incisions. Gently inflated abdomen with CO₂ gas for examination.

Stage 6: Laparoscopic Fibroid Removal

The surgeon selects the appropriate advanced laparoscopic instruments and carefully differentiates and removes the uterine fibroids, while ensuring the preservation of as much healthy uterine tissue as possible.

Step 7: Uterine Reconstruction

Once the fibroids have been taken out, the surgeon carefully sutures the uterine wall together with special sutures. Correct reconstruction is important to restore uterine strength and structure, especially in women who wish to become pregnant again.

Step 8: Completion of Surgery

After the uterus has healed, the bleeding is stopped, and then the surgical instruments are removed. The fibroids are removed through small incisions, and the incisions are carefully closed using sutures or suturing adhesive. Final inspection was carried out to check that the procedure had been completed.

Step 9: Recovery and Monitoring

After the surgery, the patients are transferred to the recovery room, where the doctors closely supervise their condition. Mild discomfort, bloating or fatigue is experienced by most women for a few days.

Laparoscopic Myomectomy Timeline

Initial Consultation (Day 1)

In this visit, the doctor looks at your symptoms, medical history, menstruation and your fertility plans. Additional tests are recommended, as it depends upon your condition, whether the laparoscopic myomectomy procedure is a good choice for you.

Diagnostic Testing (Within 1–2 Weeks)

Diagnostic tests like pelvic ultrasound, transvaginal ultrasound, MRI scans, blood tests and fertility tests are done. These tests can help determine the location, size, and number of fibroids.

Pre-Surgical Preparation (1–2 Weeks Before Surgery)

Patients are given instructions about medications and restrictions for the pre-operative period, as well as pre-operative precautions, once surgery is scheduled. Some prescription medications might have to be adjusted or temporarily discontinued.

Day of Surgery (1–3 Hours)

Patients are taken to the hospital the day of surgery and put under general anaesthetic. A surgeon uses a laparoscope and special instruments to perform a laparoscopic myomectomy through small incisions in the abdomen.

Hospital Stay (Same Day or 24 Hours)

Most women will make a rapid recovery from a laparoscopy. Extensive monitoring occurs for pain control, bleeding and general recovery. Depending on the complexity of the procedure and the person's health, the patient may be discharged on the day of or after an overnight stay at the hospital.

Early Recovery Period (First 1–2 Weeks)

Light abdominal pain, bloating, tiredness, and spotting are common in the first two weeks. Most people can return to light activities in a few days.

Complete Recovery (4–6 Weeks)

Most women will slowly regain their normal routines such as working, exercising and daily activities. Follow-up visits are arranged to check the healing process and to be sure that the uterus is healing properly following laparoscopic fibroid surgery.

Fertility Recovery and Pregnancy Planning (3–6 Months)

This recovery period will enable the uterine wall to recover completely, thereby minimising pregnancy complications and increasing the likelihood of a healthy pregnancy.

Long-Term Follow-Up

Follow-up visits are conducted regularly to ensure there is monitoring for reproductive health and in case fibroids can be identified again.

What is the laparoscopic myomectomy cost in India?

The laparoscopic myomectomy cost in India is usually between ₹80,000 and ₹2,50,000. Several factors influence the laparoscopic myomectomy surgery cost in India, such as:


  • The number and size of fibroids
  • Complexity of surgery
  • Hospital infrastructure
  • Surgeon's expertise
  • City and location
  • Further fertility interventions needed
  • The duration of hospitalisation
  • The time spent in the hospital
Some of the factors that affect the laparoscopic myomectomy cost are:
  • Advanced laparoscopic equipment
  • Anaesthesia charges
  • Diagnostic investigations
  • Postoperative medications
  • Follow-up consultations
To determine the exact cost of laparoscopic myomectomy surgery, please consult with our fertility experts.

What is the Success Rate of Laparoscopic Myomectomy?

Overall, the laparoscopic myomectomy surgery has a high success rate, and most women notice great improvement in their symptoms and reproductive function.

Women Under 30 Years

This age group has good fertility potential, and the uterus heals rapidly from surgery. When fibroids are the main issue causing infertility, the pregnancy rate following the removal of these tumours is pretty good.

Women Aged 30-34 Years

Following the laparoscopy myomectomy, many women find that they become more fertile, the chance of miscarriage is decreased, and they feel better, with less pain and bleeding in the pelvis.

Women Aged 35-39 Years

When fibroids are causing difficulty with conception or implantation, it is possible to substantially affect fertility in this age range without undergoing laparotomy, but rather by performing a laparoscopic myomectomy.

Women Aged 40-44 Years

Laparoscopic myomectomy might be beneficial for women in their early 40s, especially when their fibroids are causing severe symptoms or impacting fertility treatment.

Women 45 Years and Older

In women older than 45 years, laparoscopic fibroid surgery is primarily performed to relieve symptoms like heavy periods, painful periods or pelvic pressure and improve quality of life.

These are the factors that affect success rates:

  • Ovarian Reserve and Age
  • Number of fibroids
  • The size and location of fibroids
  • Severity of symptoms
At Femcare Fertility, laparoscopic myomectomy has demonstrated a success rate ranging from 89% to 98% for our patients.

What are the Advantages of Laparoscopic Myomectomy?

Laparoscopic myomectomy has many benefits over open surgery and may be considered the best approach for women with uterine fibroids who want to retain their fertility and recover faster.

Fertility Preservation

The most significant advantage of laparoscopic myomectomy is the removal of fibroids without the need to remove the uterus. It is a great choice for those women who want to conceive in the future. The procedure can help to restore the normal shape and function of the uterus, which may help to increase the likelihood of successful conception and pregnancy.

Minimally Invasive Approach

A laparoscopic myomectomy is conducted through a number of small incisions in the abdomen that are less traumatic than the incisions used in traditional open surgery. This is a minimally invasive method which causes less trauma to surrounding tissues and muscles, thus allowing for a more comfortable recovery and less surgical complications.

Less Pain

As the procedure has smaller incisions and there is less disruption to the tissue, patients have less postoperative pain than with open abdominal surgery. Medications can help most women control any discomfort and resume their normal activities in a shorter period of time.

Faster Recovery

Recovery after laparoscopic myomectomy is typically much quicker than after conventional surgery. Most women can stand up and do light activities within a few days and are able to return to work 1-2 weeks after the procedure, based on their healing time and the complexity of the procedure.

Minimal Scarring

The small incisions created during laparoscopy surgery create very small scars, which will fade with time. The cosmetic benefit is frequently desirable to the patient who desires effective treatment without the larger scars of traditional abdominal surgery.

Reduced Blood Loss

Doctors can remove fibroids using advanced laparoscopic techniques that ensure greater precision of operation and minimise blood loss. This helps patients to experience recovery with a lower risk of blood transfusion and a more comfortable experience after surgery.

Shorter Hospital Stay

The majority of women that have a laparoscopic myomectomy can go home the same day or within 24 hours of the procedure. The shorter a person stays in the hospital the less the cost to healthcare, the less chance that they will develop a hospital-acquired infection, and the more time they have to recuperate at home.

Understanding the Risks of Laparoscopic Myomectomy

As with any surgery, laparoscopic myomectomy surgery does have some risks, but are not common when performed by experienced surgeons.

  • Bleeding: During the surgery, there may be some bleeding, and in a few special cases, a transfusion of blood may be necessary.
  • Infection: The risk of infection around the incisions or the uterus or around the pelvis is low after surgery.
  • Anaesthesia-Related Risks: Temporary side effects or less common complications as a result of a general anaesthetic may be experienced by some patients.
  • Scar Tissue Formation: As the healing progresses, the internal adhesions or scar tissue can form and sometimes have an impact on the fertility or function of the pelvis.
  • Damage to adjacent organs: During surgery, sometimes nearby organs like the bladder, bowel or blood vessels are injured by mistake.
  • Temporary Pelvic Discomfort: During the first recovery period, mild pelvic pain, cramping, bloating and/or abdominal soreness are normal.
  • Fibroid Recurrence: They can grow again in the future, particularly in women who haven't reached menopause.
  • Rare need for conversion to open surgery: If there are any complications or if the surgeon is not able to remove the fibroids laparoscopically, he may proceed to open surgery as a precaution.

What to Expect After Laparoscopic Myomectomy

After surgery, this is what most patients will find:

First 24 Hours

  • Mild discomfort
  • Temporary bloating
  • Light vaginal spotting

First Week

  • Coordinated enhancement of mobility
  • Reduced pain
  • Return to light daily activities on a daily basis.

Weeks 2-4

  • Increased energy levels
  • Treatment of wounds after surgery.

Weeks 4-6

  • Return to normal activities
  • Continued internal healing

Your doctor will give you individual guidelines on exercise, work and sexual activity, as well as planning for the next pregnancy.

What are the essential tips to Improve Success?

To help with recovery and fertility, do:

  • Strictly abiding by the post-surgery guidelines
  • Taking prescribed medications
  • Attending follow-up appointments
  • Being at a healthy weight.
  • Following a well-balanced diet
  • Managing stress effectively
  • Steer clear of smoking and drinking alcoholic beverages.
  • The importance of being active following recovery.
  • Guidance on planning pregnancy from your specialist


When to Consult a Fertility Specialist

You should consult a fertility specialist if you have uterine fibroids and are experiencing difficulty conceiving, recurrent miscarriages, heavy menstrual bleeding, pelvic pain, or irregular periods. Early evaluation can help identify whether fibroids are affecting your fertility and determine if laparoscopic myomectomy is the right treatment option.

Hysteroscopy

A hysteroscopy is a procedure that is minimally invasive and is used to assess the inside of the uterus. It aids diagnosis and treatment of uterine fibroids, uterine polyps, uterine adhesions, uterine septa, etc., which may impact fertility, placement or pregnancy without needing to perform major surgery.


Endometriosis Surgery

Laparoscopic surgery for endometriosis can help destroy endometrial tissue that has grown outside the uterus. The procedure can help reduce pain and restore normal pelvic anatomy and may enhance fertility for women who have experienced a decrease in their fertility due to moderate or severe endometriosis.


Fertility Preservation

There are techniques used to help preserve fertility, like egg or embryo freezing or preserving ovarian tissue. There are various choices to help ensure that women preserve their future fertility before medical treatments, before becoming pregnant later in life or before conditions that could affect their fertility are treated.
