Fibroid Removal

Uterine fibroid removal is a medical intervention recommended for patients who have symptomatic fibroids or fibroids that affect fertility. The purpose of the procedure is to eliminate benign formations in the uterus while preserving the organ’s structural and functional integrity.

What is Fibroid Removal?

Uterine fibroid removal, also known as myomectomy, is a procedure in which fibroids are removed from the uterus to alleviate symptoms or improve fertility. Depending on their location, size, and number, the intervention may be performed laparoscopically, hysteroscopically, or through other minimally invasive methods.

Laparoscopic myomectomy allows access to fibroids located within the uterine wall or abdominal cavity, while hysteroscopic myomectomy is used for intracavitary fibroids. Both approaches offer rapid recovery and reduced postoperative discomfort.

This procedure is often recommended for women experiencing heavy bleeding, pelvic pain, difficulty conceiving, or other symptoms related to the presence of fibroids.

Treatment steps

Your step-by-step guide to Fibroid Removal

Every treatment is built on a well-defined medical process, carefully structured and tailored to the individual needs of each case. The objective is for the patient to receive clear information, continuous support, and the assurance that every stage is explained in detail—from the initial consultation to the subsequent monitoring period. The entire journey is guided with professionalism, ensuring that medical decisions are made with full understanding.

Although procedures vary depending on each patient’s diagnosis, treatment always begins with a thorough evaluation of the individual situation and the establishment of a personalized strategy. This approach increases the real chances of success and ensures continuity of care throughout the entire journey toward becoming a parent.

During the consultation, we discuss your medical history, the symptoms that trouble you, and the results of previous investigations. I carefully analyse ultrasounds, MRI scans, or other tests you may have, in order to determine whether surgical intervention — including robotic surgery — is the most suitable option for your case.
Once we have established the optimal method, I explain step by step how the procedure will take place, including the expected benefits and potential risks. We clarify the necessary preoperative preparations and complete the consent documents, ensuring you are fully informed before the operation.
The intervention is performed with the help of an advanced robotic system, which I control directly from a console. This technology allows me to make very small incisions and execute extremely precise movements, guided by high-resolution 3D imaging. The fibroid is removed carefully while preserving as much healthy uterine structure as possible.
After the operation, you usually remain hospitalized for one night. Recovery is faster than with traditional surgery, with reduced pain, early mobilisation, and a lower risk of complications. We monitor the first hours closely to ensure your recovery progresses well.
At the postoperative visit, we analyse the results of the intervention and discuss the next steps. Depending on your reproductive plans, I guide you toward natural conception, additional monitoring, or—if necessary—assisted reproductive solutions. Each recommendation is tailored to your specific clinical situation.

F.A.Q.

Fibroid Removal F.A.Q.

Starting a treatment or medical procedure often raises questions regarding safety, effectiveness, and its impact on fertility. This section provides general explanations to help patients better understand the working steps, what the procedure involves, and what results to expect. The information is presented in an accessible manner to facilitate a clearer understanding of the medical process.

If additional questions arise or if the individual situation requires specific clarifications, a direct discussion with the physician can offer personalized guidance and recommendations tailored to each case. Proper guidance supports informed decision-making and ensures that treatment proceeds safely.

The decision to remove a fibroid depends on your symptoms, the size of the mass, and its impact on fertility. If the fibroid causes pain, heavy bleeding, or interferes with conception, surgery becomes the best option.
Yes. Due to its high precision, robotic surgery allows me to remove the fibroid while keeping the uterus in better condition. For patients who wish to conceive, this technique can provide a significant advantage.
Robotic-assisted surgery is considered one of the safest minimally invasive surgical techniques. Instrument movements are controlled by the surgeon, and the 3D visualisation greatly enhances the accuracy of the procedure.
Most patients require only one night of hospitalization. Overall recovery is quick, and return to normal activities occurs gradually within 1–2 weeks, depending on the individual.
The incisions are extremely small, usually under 1 cm, which makes the scars barely noticeable. Compared to traditional methods, the aesthetic result is significantly better after healing.
Not in all cases. I choose the method depending on the type, size, location of the fibroid, and your reproductive goals. In some situations, other options may be more appropriate.
