Fibroid morcellation at laparoscopic myomectomy
Other than very small fibroids cannot be removed through the small incisions used for laparoscopic myomectomy. One technique is to chop the fibroid in to small pieces using a morcellator, as demonstrated in this clip.

Ultrasound
scan
You
have probably had an ultrasound scan before as it is
a very common investigation. A pelvic scan can be done
abdominally or via the vagina. The procedure is quick,
painless and gives a very useful image of your uterus
(womb) and ovaries. Apart from fibroids, ultrasound
can also diagnose polyps, thickened endometrium (lining
of the uterus), and ovarian cysts. |
