Minimally Invasive Myomectomy

If you’ve been experiencing debilitating period pain or heavy bleeding during menstruation, this could be due to uterine fibroids, so it’s worth speaking with a specialist to get your questions answered.

Robotic myomectomy is a method of removing fibroids from your uterus without the need for open surgery.

Dr. Azer carries out the procedure  by making small incisions in your abdomen using the da Vinci^Ⓡ robotic surgical system. Dr. Azer performs the operation under general anesthetic, and the procedure takes between one and three hours, depending on how many fibroids you have.

Using robotic technology incisions are much smaller, less blood loss, enhanced recovery and return to normal daily activities and work. Because it’s a far less invasive method of removing fibroids, your incisions take less time to heal and affect fewer tissues, meaning you feel less pain, lose less blood, and heal more quickly.

Most women take just two to three weeks to get back to normal activity after the procedure, and you should find your period pain and heavy bleeding significantly improved following a robotic myomectomy.

The first stage is to find out for sure what’s causing your symptoms. At Advanced Gynecology Practice, you will receive a thorough assessment to confirm your diagnosis and assess the size, number,  and location of your fibroids.

Dr. Azer will then discuss the treatment options available and help you make an informed decision on how to proceed. You should experience an immediate improvement in your symptoms following robotic myomectomy surgery.
