Fibroidectomy

A fibroidectomy is a surgical procedure performed to remove uterine fibroids, also known as leiomyomas, from the uterus. These benign growths can cause a variety of symptoms, such as heavy menstrual bleeding, pelvic pain, and pressure. The causes of uterine fibroids are not well understood, but risk factors include age, race, obesity, and family history. Fibroidectomy can be performed through various techniques, such as laparoscopy or hysteroscopy, and the choice of procedure depends on the size, number, and location of the fibroids. Complications of fibroidectomy are rare but can include bleeding, infection, and injury to surrounding organs.
