Dr. Leigh Rosen Explains the Different Surgical Approaches for Fibroid Removal
A myomectomy is a surgery performed to remove uterine fibroids, and choosing the right surgical approach depends on your anatomy, symptoms, and goals. In this video, Dr. Leigh Rosen breaks down the three main types of myomectomy and why individualized care is key to safe and effective treatment.
Surgical options include:
- Hysteroscopic Myomectomy: The least invasive, performed vaginally to remove fibroids from inside the uterine cavity.
- Laparoscopic or Robotic Myomectomy: Minimally invasive abdominal surgery using small incisions and precision tools.
- Open Myomectomy: A traditional approach requiring a larger incision to access and remove fibroids that are large, numerous, or deeply embedded.
Dr. Rosen emphasizes the importance of understanding why surgery is being recommended and which approach aligns best with your body and reproductive goals. Evaluation through imaging—like MRI and ultrasound—combined with physical exam and patient priorities help determine the safest and most effective plan.
