PROCEDURES & SURGERY

Myomectomy

Myomectomy removes fibroids while leaving the uterus in place. It may be considered when fibroids are causing significant symptoms and uterine preservation is important. Consultation and procedure planning are coordinated through Dr Tini’s practice in Gqeberha (Port Elizabeth).

When myomectomy may be discussed

It can be considered for heavy bleeding, pressure or pain, fertility-related concerns or large/symptomatic fibroids when conservative treatment is not suitable or has not helped.

Different surgical approaches

Depending on fibroid size, number and location, myomectomy may be hysteroscopic, laparoscopic or open abdominal surgery. Your surgeon will explain the recommended approach.

Pregnancy considerations

If future pregnancy is important, discuss how fibroid location and the proposed surgery may affect fertility, pregnancy and future delivery planning.

Recovery and follow-up

Recovery depends on the surgical approach and extent of surgery. Follow your personalised discharge and activity instructions.
