Myomectomy: Fibroid Relief with Uterus Preservation
At the Caronette Fibroid & Pelvic Wellness Center, we offer myomectomy—a highly effective, uterus-sparing surgery for women experiencing symptoms from uterine fibroids. Led by Dr. O. Lawrence Stitt III, Maryland’s leading myomectomy expert, our team provides minimally invasive treatment options that help you reclaim your health and preserve your fertility.
Why Choose Myomectomy?
Unlike hysterectomy, myomectomy removes fibroids while keeping the uterus intact – making it an ideal option for women who want to maintain reproductive potential.
Myomectomy can relieve symptoms such as:
-
- Heavy or prolonged periods
- Pelvic pain or pressure
- Anemia
- Infertility or recurrent miscarriages
Types of Fibroids Treated
We treat all fibroid types, including:
-
- Intramural: In the uterine wall
- Subserosal: On the outer surface
- Submucosal: Inside the uterine cavity
- Pedunculated: Attached by a stalk
Surgical Options
Your surgical approach is personalized based on the size, number, and location of fibroids:
-
- Laparoscopic Myomectomy: Small incisions, fast recovery (1–2 weeks)
- Hysteroscopic Myomectomy: No incisions, quick recovery (3–14 days)
- Abdominal Myomectomy: Larger incision, typically for large or multiple fibroids (4–6 weeks recovery)
Risks & Recovery
All surgeries carry some risk, including bleeding, infection, or scarring. Our team takes every precaution to ensure your safety and comfort. We provide thorough follow-up and ongoing support for optimal recovery and long-term health.
Myomectomy & Pregnancy
Many women can conceive naturally after myomectomy. While there is a slight increase in pregnancy risks, such as placental complications, Dr. Stitt will help guide your care plan with fertility goals in mind.
