What Are Uterine Fibroids?
Fibroids (also called myomas) are benign, muscular tumors that grow in the uterus. They can be single or multiple, and vary greatly in size and position. While benign, they can cause:
- Heavy or prolonged periods
- Pelvic pain or pressure
- Fertility difficulties
Laparoscopic myomectomy is often the preferred approach for patients who want relief without removing the uterus.
How Laparoscopic Myomectomy Works
All surgical procedures are performed by Dr. Lucas Minig, a global leader in complex gynecological surgery. Surgeries are performed under general anesthesia using 4 small incisions (5 mm) in the pelvis. The duration varies according with the number, localization and size of uterine myomas. Through these entry points, a laparoscope and surgical tools are used to:
- Locate each fibroid
- Carefully excise the tumor
- Repair the uterus layer by layer
The fibroids are then removed through the navel in a sterile bag to protect surrounding tissues.
When Is Myomectomy Recommended?
You may be a candidate for laparoscopic myomectomy if you:
- Experience significant symptoms (bleeding, pain, pressure)
- Want to preserve your uterus
- Are trying to become pregnant
Your care plan will be personalized based on your age, fertility goals, fibroid size and location.
Patients from around the world trust our expertise to treat even the most complex cases that local providers may not manage.

Planning for Pregnancy After Myomectomy
If you're hoping to conceive, it's important to give your uterus time to heal. We typically recommend waiting to 6 months before trying to become pregnant. This allows the uterine wall to regain strength and minimizes risk during pregnancy.
Benefits of Laparoscopic Myomectomy
- Smaller incisions and less postoperative pain
- Faster recovery compared to open surgery
- Minimal scarring and lower risk of adhesions
- Preservation of uterine structure and function
Not all patients are candidates for laparoscopy. We’ll assess your case carefully to ensure the safest and most effective approach.

Frequently asked questions
What type of anesthesia is used during a myomectomy?
General anesthesia is typically used for all types of myomectomy—laparoscopic, abdominal (open), and occasionally hysteroscopic. This means you’ll be completely asleep and pain-free during the procedure.
-
What happens during laparoscopic myomectomy?
A laparoscope—a thin tube with a camera—is inserted through a small incision near the navel. Additional tiny incisions are made in the abdomen for the surgical instruments. This minimally invasive technique allows fibroids to be removed with precision, less pain, and minimal scarring compared to open surgery.
-
What can I expect during recovery?
After a laparoscopic myomectomy, most patients are able to move around and perform light daily tasks within 24–48 hours. Full recovery usually takes one to two weeks, although rest is important in the first few days. You should avoid heavy lifting, strenuous activity, or sexual intercourse until your doctor gives you clearance.
-
How long does the uterus take to heal?
It typically takes about 3 to 6 months for the uterus to fully heal after a myomectomy—especially if you’re considering pregnancy. This recovery period reduces the risk of uterine rupture or complications during a future pregnancy.
