Surgery for Uterine Fibroids in Israel

The gynecologists at the Top Ichilov clinic have extensive experience in treating uterine fibroids, using exclusively minimally invasive and laparoscopic surgical techniques and non-invasive surgery. Surgery for uterine fibroids in Israel is not just a procedure to remove the tumor; it is primarily about preserving a woman's ability to conceive and carry a pregnancy.

How Uterine Fibroids are Removed at Top Ichilov

What are uterine fibroids? They are benign tumors that arise from the muscular layer (myometrium) and consist of muscle fibers, richly supplied with blood vessels. This formation grows under the influence of female hormones (estrogen, progesterone), meaning it is a hormone-dependent tumor. When fibroids reach sizes exceeding those of the uterus, they can compress adjacent organs and cause lower abdominal pain, urinary and defecation problems, provoke heavy uterine bleeding, and consequently anemia, leading to infertility. However, the main danger of fibroids is their ability to transform into a malignant tumor.

Medication treatment for fibroids does not yield the expected results, and the only method that can permanently rid a woman of the tumor remains surgery. Hormonal medications are prescribed by doctors to complement the surgical treatment of fibroids.

At Top Ichilov, only laparoscopic surgical interventions and non-invasive techniques, as well as endovascular surgery, are used.

• Hysteroscopy. It should be noted that any surgery for uterine fibroids in Israel is not very expensive, as it does not involve organ removal or extensive cavity intervention. During hysteroscopy, fibroids are removed through access via the vagina – without incisions and deep anesthesia. The gynecologist-surgeon uses a hysteroscope to examine the condition of the internal walls of the uterus, the state of its endometrium, clarifies the location and size of the fibroids. Only then does the surgeon use either a laser or electric current to excise the pathological tissues of the fibroids and cauterize the vessels in the surgical field (perform coagulation).
• Laparoscopic surgery for uterine fibroids in Israel is practically no different in cost from similar surgeries in private clinics in the CIS, but in terms of organ preservation, quality, and zero risk of complications and medical errors, Israeli clinics clearly excel. Laparoscopic surgery is performed through punctures in the front abdominal wall: either through 3 or through 1 in the area of the navel – new technology SILS. With this approach, the uterus is not removed even if the fibroids have reached sizes exceeding those of the organ. The fibroids are cut off and extracted from the uterine cavity using a special device that grinds the tumor and sucks up the ground pieces of the formation, without affecting the integrity of the uterus. Such surgery for uterine fibroids in Israel receives very positive feedback, as it proceeds without trauma and preserves the most important reproductive organ for women.
• Endovascular surgery is used for small fibroid sizes and in cases where laparoscopic surgery is contraindicated. The procedure involves blocking the blood vessels supplying the tumor with blood using emboli – special agents containing small spheres. Emboli are introduced into the uterine arteries that supply oxygen and nutrients to the tumor through a catheter inserted into a large vessel of the thigh (femoral artery). The formation, not receiving nourishment, shrinks and undergoes necrosis. Thus, it is possible to get rid of fibroids without surgical intervention.
• FUS ablation of uterine fibroidsunderMRI control – is one of the innovative non-invasive methods for tumor removal. The procedure uses focused ultrasound to heat the tumor tissues, vaporize them, and destroy them, causing the formation to die. Moreover, the ultrasound effect is applied not to the entire tumor, but to specific areas – that is, the fibroids are targeted. The procedure is performed on an MRI scanner with the involvement of ultrasound equipment, simultaneously, without the need for repeat treatment.

Surgery for Uterine Fibroids in Israel: Patient Reviews on Diagnostic Accuracy

Before the surgery to remove fibroids, the patient undergoes an examination to clarify the location of the tumor, its size, the presence of complications caused by its growth, structure (on a stalk), and nature (in case of suspicion of malignant degeneration). The entire examination program takes only 3 days. On the first day, the patient receives a consultation from her treating gynecologist and referrals for diagnostic procedures; on the second day, she undergoes these procedures, and on the third day, she attends a specialists' council and receives a treatment program, as well as learns its exact cost.

The complex of diagnostic measures for uterine fibroids includes:

• laboratory tests;
• ultrasound, MRI;
• hysteroscopy;
• biopsy with histology (to exclude the cancerous nature of the fibroids).
