What is laparoscopic uterine fibroid surgery

Laparoscopic uterine fibroid surgery is a surgery performed in the abdomen using laparoscopic instruments to remove uterine fibroids. Compared with traditional open surgery, this surgery has the advantages of less trauma, faster recovery, and less bleeding. For women who have been pregnant or have not yet given birth but have symptoms of uterine fibroids, laparoscopic uterine fibroid surgery is a more ideal treatment method.

Laparoscopic uterine fibroid surgery conditions

1. Uterine fibroids have obvious symptoms: such as menorrhagia, prolonged menstruation, abdominal pain, etc. If these symptoms affect the quality of life, surgery is a good choice.

2. Uterine fibroids are of moderate size: Generally speaking, the size of uterine fibroids for surgical treatment should be between 3-10 cm. Uterine fibroids that are too large may require traditional open surgery.

3. No plans to get pregnant in the future: Laparoscopic uterine fibroid surgery may reduce the capacity of the uterus. Therefore, if you plan to get pregnant in the future, you may need to choose carefully.

Laparoscopic uterine fibroid surgery uses general anesthesia. The patient lies on the operating table and enters the abdominal cavity through a laparoscope. The doctor will make three to four small incisions on the abdominal wall and insert the laparoscope and surgical instruments. Through the imaging system, the doctor can clearly see the situation inside the uterus and perform the corresponding resection.

After surgery, patients need to be observed in the hospital for a period of time, and usually only need to rest for one day before they can be discharged. During the recovery period after surgery, patients may experience some abdominal pain or discomfort, but these symptoms generally disappear quickly. In order to avoid postoperative complications, patients need to pay attention to rest and avoid strenuous exercise.

Laparoscopic uterine fibroid surgery is a very safe and effective method for treating uterine fibroids. Through laparoscopic surgery, the uterus can be preserved to the greatest extent, and trauma and discomfort can be reduced. Due to its significant advantages, laparoscopic surgery has been widely used in clinical practice.

Laparoscopic surgery is an important technology in modern medicine. It plays an irreplaceable role in the treatment of many diseases. Laparoscopic uterine fibroid surgery is one of them. It can reduce the pain of patients and improve their quality of life. With the continuous development of science and technology, I believe that laparoscopic surgery will play a role in more fields and benefit more patients.
