Jan 11, 2024

Introduction

Welcome to Dr. Seckin's Obstetricians & Gynecologists, where our team of highly skilled doctors specializes in providing top-quality women's health and medical care. In this article, we will explore the myoma surgery procedure, a treatment option for women suffering from uterine fibroids, also known as myomas.

Understanding Myomas

Before delving into the surgical procedure, it's important to understand what myomas are. Myomas are non-cancerous growths that develop within the walls of the uterus. They affect a significant number of women, often causing symptoms like heavy menstrual bleeding, pelvic pressure, and discomfort. At Dr. Seckin's, we offer a range of treatment options, including myoma surgery, to improve the quality of life for our patients.

The Myoma Surgery Procedure

Our skilled doctors perform the myoma surgery procedure to effectively remove the fibroids and alleviate associated symptoms. The surgery is typically performed using minimally invasive techniques, such as laparoscopy or hysteroscopy, ensuring shorter recovery times and minimal scarring.

Preparation for Surgery

Prior to the myoma surgery, our doctors will conduct a thorough evaluation of your condition. This may include a physical examination, medical history review, and diagnostic tests such as ultrasound or MRI. These tests help us determine the size, location, and number of fibroids, enabling us to plan the most suitable surgical approach.

Laparoscopic Myoma Surgery

Laparoscopic myoma surgery is a minimally invasive procedure that involves making several small incisions in the abdomen. Our skilled surgeons then insert specialized surgical instruments and a laparoscope, a thin tube with a camera, to visualize the fibroids. With the guidance of the laparoscope, the fibroids are carefully removed or destroyed using techniques like morcellation or laser ablation. The incisions are then closed, and the patient typically recovers in a shorter period of time compared to traditional open surgery.

Hysteroscopic Myoma Surgery

For women with submucosal myomas, hysteroscopic myoma surgery is often recommended. This procedure is performed through the vagina, eliminating the need for any external incisions. A hysteroscope is inserted into the uterus, allowing our doctors to visualize and remove the fibroids using specialized surgical tools. Hysteroscopic myoma surgery offers a speedy recovery, as no external wounds are involved.

Benefits of Myoma Surgery

Opting for myoma surgery at Dr. Seckin's offers several benefits to patients:

  • Relief from painful symptoms: Myoma surgery effectively relieves symptoms such as heavy menstrual bleeding, pelvic pressure, and pain.
  • Improved fertility: In cases where myomas are compromising fertility, surgical removal can enhance the chances of successful conception.
  • Minimal scarring: With the use of modern minimally invasive techniques, myoma surgery leaves minimal scarring compared to traditional open surgery.
  • Faster recovery: Minimally invasive myoma surgery techniques result in shorter hospital stays and quicker recuperation, allowing patients to return to their regular activities sooner.
  • Long-term relief: Myoma surgery provides long-lasting relief from myoma-related symptoms, improving the overall quality of life for affected women.
