Myomectomy

If your doctor recommends surgery to treat uterine fibroids, you may be a candidate for a new, uterine-preserving, minimally invasive procedure – da Vinci myomectomy.

The procedure

The da Vinci myomectomy combines the most advanced surgical and robotic technology available to help surgeons perform this delicate operation with unmatched precision and control.

For many patients, da Vinci myomectomy can provide the most effective, least invasive treatment for uterine fibroids. It is also a uterine-preserving alternative to open abdominal hysterectomy.

A da Vinci myomectomy requires four, dime-sized incisions, compared to a 6- to 12-inch incision needed for traditional open surgery.

Among the potential benefits of da Vinci myomectomy as compared to traditional open abdominal surgery are:

• opportunity for future pregnancy
• significantly less pain
• less blood loss
• fewer complications
• less scarring
• a shorter hospital stay
• a faster return to normal daily activities

The unique level of control and precision provided by the da Vinci surgical system also can help your surgeon provide the most precise and thorough reconstruction possible, helping to prevent possible uterine rupture (tearing) during future pregnancies.
