Organ-preserving surgery at Top Ihilov will fully preserve reproductive function
In recent years, leading specialists at Top Ihilov Clinic have successfully and effectively performed laparoscopic myomectomy (removal of uterine fibroids). This procedure has several significant advantages, including: minimally invasive nature, precision, and effectiveness of the procedure due to a microscopic video camera with backlighting that provides visual control over the course of the operation.
How does Top Ihilov preserve reproductive function and the health of patients with uterine fibroids?
Thanks to extensive experience and mastery of advanced equipment, surgeons at Top Ihilov perform hundreds of successful laparoscopic myomectomies every year, even in the most difficult-to-reach areas with maximum precision and care.
Laparoscopic myomectomy for the treatment of uterine fibroids allows for the removal of multiple fibroids in one session and is performed in 4 stages:
- Excision of myomatous nodes;
- Application of serous sutures;
- Extraction of excised fibroid nodes using a special container in the laparoscope;
- Sanitation of the abdominal cavity.
Typically, the duration of the operation is 3 hours; however, the length of the procedure directly depends on the number of detected myomatous nodes. Generally, hospitalization after the operation is not required, as the surgical intervention does not lead to complications, and the full rehabilitation period for the patient takes up to two weeks.
Techniques such as the following are also used:
- SILS (Single Incision Laparoscopic Surgery) – performing the operation through a single incision in the abdominal wall (single-port method).
- NOTES – endoscopic surgery performed without an incision in the abdominal wall through the vagina.
Uterine fibroids are the most common tumour of the female reproductive organs, which, according to statistics, account for 20 to 80% of cases in women of reproductive age. Primary infertility is diagnosed in 20-25% of patients with a diagnosis of uterine fibroids. This issue has become highly relevant due to the younger demographic of patients with fibroids, as well as the late realization of reproductive function by women.
