Laparoscopic myomectomy (fibroid removal)
Clinical Overview & Disease Information
Uterine-preserving laparoscopic and robotic myomectomy with containment bag in-glove morcellation, removing intramural, subserosal, and submucosal uterine fibroids while preserving fertility.

Causes & Risk Factors
Primary Causes & Etiology
- Estrogen and progesterone receptor hypersensitivity in uterine smooth muscle
- Genetic MED12 gene mutations
- Nulliparity and early menarche
Who is at Higher Risk?
- Women of reproductive age seeking fertility preservation while removing symptomatic fibroids
Diagnostic Evaluation & Testing
| Diagnostic Test | Clinical Purpose / What It Shows |
|---|---|
| 3D Transvaginal Ultrasound & Contrast Pelvic MRI | Determines precise fibroid count, size, FIGO classification (0-8), and relation to endometrial cavity |
| Saline Infusion Sonohysterography (SIS) | Evaluates submucosal distortion of endometrial lining |
Comprehensive Treatment Options
Laparoscopic / Robotic Multilayer Myomectomy with In-Bag Contained Morcellation
Keyhole enucleation of fibroids, 3-layer uterine reconstruction with barbed sutures, and contained specimen extraction within an endobag.
Hysteroscopic Myomectomy (Resectoscopic TCRF)
Incisionless transvaginal resection of FIGO 0-1 submucosal fibroids using bipolar resectoscope.
