Uterine fibroids are one of the most common diseases of the female reproductive system. There are several ways to treat pathology, but the most sparing and effective is laparoscopy of uterine fibroids. This method allows you to get rid of myomatous nodes, reducing the risk of complications to almost zero.
Removal of uterine myoma by laparoscopic method
More recently, the myomatous nodes were removed only by the surgical method, which resulted in a number of complications, beginning with bleeding of internal organs, ending with infertility. Today, laparoscopy of fibroids is the best alternative to open surgery, which allows to remove formations without leaving scars on the uterus.
Laparoscopic removal of myoma is performed by special instruments that are inserted through a small puncture in the abdominal cavity. Together with the instruments a video camera is used, which allows the doctor to visualize the formations in the uterus.
After removal of the uterine myoma by laparoscopic method, there is no scars left as in the standard operation. In addition, this method does not have such a complication as the formation of adhesions, which can lead not only to infertility, but also to the appearance of problems in the work of other organs. Among the advantages of laparoscopic uterine myoma surgery is also a short rehabilitation period.
Features of laparoscopy
It should be noted that laparoscopy of uterine fibroids of large size is not carried out. Such a method can be used only with the removal of surface nodes, the size of which does not exceed 4 cm. For a myoma more than 6 cm, located in hard-to-reach areas of the uterus, an open operation is recommended. In this case, laparoscopy can have serious complications, for example, internal bleeding.
Removal of myoma by laparoscopy is especially important for patients suffering from anemia. In addition, this method is used for non-standard structure of nodes on the uterus, as well as for their large number.
Pregnancy after laparoscopy of uterine myoma
Myoma of the uterus at a certain size and location can lead to infertility . But even with the onset of pregnancy, myoma can significantly complicate the process of gestation, as well as provoke a miscarriage. Practice shows that with laparoscopic removal of uterine fibroids the probability of pregnancy increases several times, and the percentage of miscarriages decreases.
