A brief analysis of surgical treatment methods for uterine fibroids

With the continuous advancement of medical technology, there are various methods for treating uterine fibroids. Among them, surgical treatment of uterine fibroids is a good choice. The following is an introduction to the methods of surgical treatment of uterine fibroids.

Generally, surgical treatments for uterine fibroids include the following:

1. Laparotomy: Laparotomy is the traditional surgical method for treating uterine fibroids. Usually, a 10 cm incision is made in the lower abdomen (depending on the location and size of the fibroid). This surgery is suitable for almost all uterine fibroids, but the surgery is relatively traumatic and the recovery is slower.

2. Laparoscopic technique: It is a surgical method for treating uterine fibroids that has become increasingly popular in the past 20 years. It is a surgical method that removes uterine fibroids through surgical instruments by making 3-4 incisions with a diameter of 0.5 to 2 cm on the abdominal wall. Because of the small scars of abdominal wall surgery and fast recovery after surgery, it has been welcomed by patients. Some people may ask, how can the fibroids be taken out when they are so big? Don't worry, there is now an instrument called a fibroid pulverizer, which can crush the uterine fibroids and take them out from the small hole. Laparoscopic surgery has become a major surgical method for treating uterine fibroids due to the light pain and fast recovery after surgery, and has been welcomed by patients. However, this operation has high requirements on the surgical skills of the physician and the equipment of the hospital, so not every hospital can carry out this operation. Not all uterine fibroid removals can be performed through laparoscopy, so what kind of fibroids are suitable for laparoscopic surgery? This is very related to the doctor's experience and the conditions of the hospital. If there are too many fibroids, laparoscopic surgery lacks tactile sensation, so small fibroids cannot be touched, which may cause omissions or make surgery difficult due to too many fibroids. Therefore, at present, I personally think that if the preoperative ultrasound shows that there are more than 5 fibroids, then you don't have to insist on laparoscopic surgery.

The above is an introduction to the surgical methods for treating uterine fibroids. When patients use surgery to treat uterine fibroids, please choose the surgical treatment method carefully and do not blindly follow the opinions of non-professionals.
