Hysteroscopic myomectomy involves inserting a thin lighted viewing instrument (hysteroscope) through the vagina and the cervix into the uterus. This instrument then allows the doctor to view the fibroid to remove it through the vagina.
Laparoscopic Myomectomy for Fibroids: This surgery involves removing fibroids (noncancerous tumors in the muscle of the uterus) from the wall of the uterus.
Laparoscopic Supracervical Hysterectomy (LSH): This procedure involves laparoscopic removal of the uterus and the patient is able to keep her cervix. The patient can either keep her ovaries or have them removed at the same time.
Total Laparoscopic Hysterectomy (TLH): TLH is the removal of the uterus and cervix through four small abdominal incisions. Depending on the patient’s individual case, the ovaries and fallopian tubes may also be removed.
Laparoscopic Assisted Vaginal Hysterectomy (LAVH): is a surgical procedure using a laparoscope to guide the removal of the uterus and/or fallopian tubes and ovaries through the vagina.
