What kind of surgery is usually performed for uterine fibroids? Uterine fibroids are a common gynecological disease that can have a certain impact on women's lives and health. For some larger or symptomatic uterine fibroids, surgical treatment is often required. The following will introduce the common surgical methods used for uterine fibroids and the corresponding costs.

1. Methods of uterine fibroid surgery

1. Uterine fibroids cesarean section: This surgical method is suitable for patients with larger uterine fibroids or those who are pregnant. The operation requires an incision in the abdomen and the removal of the uterine fibroids from the uterus, usually under general anesthesia. This surgical method can completely remove uterine fibroids, but the operation is complicated and it takes a certain amount of time to recover after the operation.

2. Endoscopic myomectomy: This is a minimally invasive surgery performed through laparoscopy. The doctor will make a small incision in the abdomen, insert a laparoscope and corresponding surgical instruments, and visually inspect and operate the uterine fibroids. This surgical method has the characteristics of less trauma and quick recovery, and usually only one or two days of hospitalization is required before discharge.

3. Uterine artery embolization for uterine fibroids: This is an interventional treatment method. The embolic agent is guided into the uterine artery through a catheter to block the blood supply to the uterine artery, causing ischemia and necrosis of the uterine fibroids. This surgical method does not require an incision, is less traumatic, and has a shorter recovery period. However, this operation has a certain impact on the uterus and is not suitable for women who have plans to have children in the future.

2. Cost of uterine fibroid surgery

The cost of uterine fibroid surgery varies according to the surgical method, surgical difficulty, hospital, and other factors. Generally speaking, cesarean section resection is more expensive, and the surgical fee, anesthesia fee, hospitalization fee, etc. may cost tens of thousands of yuan. The cost of intracavitary resection is relatively low, generally between 10,000 and 20,000 yuan. Uterine artery embolization, because it is an interventional surgery, is also relatively expensive, about 20,000 to 30,000 yuan.

Uterine fibroids generally require surgical treatment. Depending on the condition, the doctor will choose the appropriate surgical method for treatment. Caesarean section resection, intracavitary dissection and uterine artery embolization are all common surgical methods. In terms of cost, the cost of cesarean section resection is higher, while the cost of intracavitary dissection and uterine artery embolization is relatively low. Patients should communicate with their doctors in detail before undergoing surgical treatment to understand the surgical method and cost, and make adequate preparations and decisions. If patients have cost concerns, they can communicate with the hospital to understand the relevant medical insurance policies and medical assistance measures, and strive to get help.
