Myomectomy is a surgery done to remove fibroids without the removal of healthy tissue of the uterus. Myomectomy is preferred if you wish to have children or who wish to keep their uterus for other reasons. After Myomectomy surgery, you can choose to go ahead with  pregnancy. Myomectomy is considered standard of care for removing fibroids and preserving the uterus. Traditionally, myomectomy surgery was performed through a large abdominal incision. Nowadays advances in technology have provided less invasive alternatives such as Hysteroscopic and Larparoscopic Myomectomies. A hysteroscopic myomectomy removes fibroids through the vagina. In a hysteroscopic myomectomy, a thin scope with a light is passed through the vagina and cervix into the uterus. No incision is needed. The physician can look inside the uterus for fibroids and other problems, such as polyps. A camera also can be used with the scope. Fibroids are easily visualized and can be removed using a wire loop or similar device. Generally only fibroids that are small and accessible through the cavity can be treated this way.
