Advantages of laparoscopic surgery for uterine fibroids

Surgery is an effective method for treating uterine fibroids, and laparoscopic surgery has the following advantages over open surgery.

1. Security

Laparoscopic surgery for uterine fibroids is performed under full visualization and is relatively safe. There is a camera at the front end of the laparoscopic device, and the doctor can clearly observe the situation in the abdominal cavity magnified thousands of times through the TV monitor connected to the laparoscope. The use of external equipment to remove uterine fibroids has less interference with the abdominal cavity and can effectively avoid various complications such as adhesions and anemia.

2. Minimally invasive

Combined laparoscopic surgery for the treatment of uterine fibroids, most patients can walk slightly on the day of surgery and eat a small amount, and can generally be discharged from the hospital 48 hours after surgery. In addition, the surgical incision is small, only 3-4 small holes of 0.5 mm to 1.0 mm are made in the patient's abdomen, and the incision is more beautiful, which conforms to the aesthetic psychology of young patients. It is a minimally invasive treatment method with better effects. The pain caused by the postoperative wound is less, and various complications such as fever and pelvic adhesion are also less. Generally, there is no need to use sedatives and analgesics, and the damage to the body is less.

3. Low misdiagnosis rate

Combined laparoscopic treatment of uterine fibroids can greatly improve the diagnosis rate of the disease. For example, if the tumor is smaller than 5 cm and cannot be diagnosed during gynecological examination and B-ultrasound examination, laparoscopy can be used to make a clear diagnosis, greatly reducing the misdiagnosis rate of uterine fibroids.
