Preserving Fertility with Minimally Invasive Fibroid Surgery
Laparoscopic Myomectomy
A laparoscopic myomectomy is a minimally invasive surgery to remove uterine fibroids while preserving the uterus. Unlike hysterectomy, this procedure is ideal for women who wish to maintain fertility or retain their uterus for personal reasons.
At Dr. Swetha Madhuri’s clinic, we specialize in performing laparoscopic myomectomies using advanced techniques that ensure minimal pain, faster recovery, and improved reproductive outcomes.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between laparoscopic myomectomy and open surgery?
Laparoscopic myomectomy uses small incisions and a camera for precision, leading to faster recovery and less pain compared to traditional open surgery.
Can all fibroids be removed laparoscopically?
Small to medium-sized fibroids are best suited. Very large or numerous fibroids may require alternative surgical approaches.
Will the fibroids come back after surgery?
Yes, fibroids can recur, but recurrence rates are lower with proper management and follow-up.
How soon can I return to work?
Most patients resume normal activities within 1–2 weeks.
Can I have a normal delivery after myomectomy?
It depends on the number and location of fibroids removed. In some cases, a C-section may be recommended for safe delivery.
