Laparoscopic Myomectomy in India
Quick answer
Laparoscopic myomectomy removes fibroids from the uterus through small keyhole cuts while keeping the womb. It suits women with a limited number of fibroids in the wall or outer surface who want quick recovery or future pregnancy. Most stay in hospital one night and can fly home within about a week or two.

The surgeon uses a camera and long instruments to cut into the womb over each fibroid and remove it. The defect is then sewn closed with keyhole stitching. Fibroids are removed through a small cut, often inside a bag.
This approach suits fibroids that are reachable and not too many. It requires advanced suturing skill, because a strong repair of the womb wall matters for future pregnancy. Some surgeons limit keyhole myomectomy to fibroids under a certain size or number.
How this approach differs
Compared with open myomectomy, the keyhole method avoids a large abdominal cut, so women usually have less pain and return to activities sooner. The surgeon works from a screen and must stitch the womb wall with long instruments, which is technically demanding. It suits a limited number of accessible fibroids; very large or many fibroids often need open or robotic surgery.
Who needs laparoscopic myomectomy
- One or a few fibroids in the uterine wall or on its outer surface
- Fibroids causing pain, heavy bleeding or fertility problems

How it is done

- The uterine wall is stitched in layers using keyhole techniques.
- Fibroids are removed in a contained bag through a small cut.

Frequently asked questions
How many fibroids can be removed by laparoscopy?
It depends on their size, location and the surgeon's experience. Many surgeons handle a few fibroids safely by keyhole. Larger numbers may need another approach.
Is the womb repair strong enough for pregnancy?
A careful layered repair is the goal. Your surgeon will note how deep the cuts were. This guides decisions on delivery method later.
Why are fibroids removed in a bag?
Using a bag lowers the risk of scattering fibroid tissue inside the abdomen. This is current recommended practice. It also protects in the rare case of unexpected cancer.
Can laparoscopic myomectomy be done before IVF?
Yes, if fibroids may affect implantation or pregnancy. Your fertility doctor and surgeon plan timing together. You may need to wait before embryo transfer.
How long should I stay in India for keyhole myomectomy?
Many women plan a stay of a week or two. This allows surgery, early recovery and a check-up. Your histology report may follow by email.
