Uterus-preserving fibroid surgery is a surgical method aimed at treating fibroids, which are benign tumours within the uterus, without damaging the uterus and while preserving reproductive capacity. Fibroids are tumours that develop in the uterine wall, are generally benign and may vary in size. These tumours may affect a woman\u2019s quality of life and lead to heavy bleeding, pain and other health problems. Fibroids are generally seen during the reproductive years and may have adverse effects on fertility.<\/p>\n
Uterus-preserving fibroid surgery is a treatment method performed to remove fibroids. However, during this procedure, only the fibroids are removed without removing the entire uterus. This surgical procedure aims to preserve the uterus while maintaining the woman\u2019s reproductive potential. This method is particularly important for women who plan or wish to have children.<\/p>\n
Uterus-preserving fibroid surgery, which is generally performed using a laparoscopic, or minimally invasive, surgical approach, is a minimally invasive procedure. Laparoscopy is a surgical technique performed through small incisions in the abdominal area, and the fibroids are removed using a camera called a laparoscope during the operation. This method allows patients to recover more quickly while also resulting in less pain and less scarring during the recovery period.<\/p>\n
Laparoscopic surgery offers patients a shorter hospital stay and a faster recovery period. As the uterus is not damaged during the removal of the fibroids, fertility is preserved. Furthermore, because the surgical procedure does not involve large incisions or prominent surgical scars, it also provides cosmetic advantages.<\/p>\n
Uterus-preserving fibroid surgery is particularly suitable for women who wish to preserve their fertility. Factors such as the size, location and number of fibroids affect whether this treatment method can be applied. The patient\u2019s symptoms, health status and general medical history are also taken into consideration.<\/p>\n
This surgical procedure is generally recommended in the following situations:<\/p>\n
The recovery period following uterus-preserving fibroid surgery may vary from patient to patient. However, surgical procedures performed using a laparoscopic approach generally provide a faster recovery.<\/p>\n
Following this type of surgery, patients are generally discharged within a few days and can return to their normal activities. Pain is usually mild and can be controlled with pain-relieving medication recommended by the physician.<\/p>\n
Important points during the recovery period include:<\/p>\n
As with every surgical procedure, uterus-preserving fibroid surgery carries certain risks. However, these risks are minimal. Complications such as infection, bleeding and injury to surrounding organs are uncommon in laparoscopic surgery.<\/p>\n
Nevertheless, the surgeon\u2019s experience and the patient\u2019s health status are important in minimising these risks.<\/p>\n
Uterus-preserving fibroid surgery provides a significant advantage, particularly for women who wish to preserve their fertility. During this procedure, the fibroids are removed without removing the uterus, allowing women to retain the possibility of having children in the future.<\/p>\n
In addition, avoiding damage to the uterus during surgery allows the recovery process to be faster. Some of the important advantages of this operation include:<\/p>\n
Fertility Is Preserved<\/strong><\/p>\n The uterus is preserved after the fibroids are removed, and the possibility of having children is not lost.<\/p>\n Faster Recovery<\/strong><\/p>\n As the uterus is not removed, the recovery process is faster and easier.<\/p>\n Reduced Pain and Bleeding<\/strong><\/p>\n Once the fibroids have been removed, complaints such as pain and heavy bleeding during menstrual periods may be significantly reduced.<\/p>\n Uterus-preserving fibroid surgery can generally be performed using a laparoscopic, or minimally invasive, surgical approach. This method allows surgery to be performed through small incisions. As a result, the recovery period is shorter and less painful.<\/p>\n The surgeon carefully opens the uterine wall and removes the fibroids. Following the operation, patients generally remain in hospital for one or two days and can then return to their normal lives.<\/p>\n Naturally, one of the most important factors determining whether open or minimally invasive surgery should be performed is the location and number of fibroids and whether the patient wishes to have children.<\/p>\n For example, in a patient with numerous fibroids, open surgery should be preferred to ensure that all fibroids can be removed, bleeding can be controlled and any potential defects created within the uterus can be properly repaired.<\/p>\n Uterus-preserving fibroid surgery is generally determined according to the size and location of the fibroids and the woman\u2019s age. If the fibroids are located on the outer part of the uterus and are small, surgery that preserves the uterus may be more successful.<\/p>\n However, if the fibroids are located within the uterine cavity or are very large, the applicability of this method may be limited. The woman\u2019s general health, desire to preserve fertility and other medical factors are also important considerations affecting the treatment decision.<\/p>\n The size and location of the fibroids play a critical role. If the fibroids are located within the uterus or are particularly large, the success of a uterus-preserving operation may be limited.<\/p>\n In such cases, physicians may consider different treatment methods. The important point is to individualise treatment and provide care according to the patient\u2019s needs.<\/p>\n The recovery period after the operation is generally rapid. Following surgical procedures performed using a laparoscopic approach, patients may be discharged within one or two days.<\/p>\n Important points to consider during recovery include:<\/p>\n Rest<\/strong><\/p>\n Resting for several days after surgery helps the body recover.<\/p>\n Pain Management<\/strong><\/p>\n Mild pain may occur. Pain-relieving medications recommended by the physician may be used in this situation.<\/p>\n Fluid Intake<\/strong><\/p>\n Drinking plenty of fluids supports and accelerates the recovery process.<\/p>\n Avoiding Sexual Intercourse<\/strong><\/p>\n It may be necessary to avoid sexual intercourse for a period of time following surgery.<\/p>\n The recovery process may vary between individuals, but patients can generally return to their normal lives within a few weeks.<\/p>\n No. Uterus-preserving fibroid surgery can only be performed in suitable patients. The size and location of the fibroids and the patient\u2019s general health affect this decision. The desire to preserve fertility is also an important factor.<\/p>\n Yes. The uterus is not removed during uterus-preserving fibroid surgery, and fertility is therefore preserved. However, the number and size of the fibroids may affect the outcome of the treatment.<\/p>\n Following laparoscopic fibroid surgery, patients generally remain in hospital for one or two days. However, the recovery period may vary from patient to patient.<\/p>\n The recovery process is generally rapid. It is necessary to rest for several days and follow the physician\u2019s recommendations. Pain-relieving medication and adequate fluid intake support recovery.<\/p>\n Fibroids may develop again despite surgical intervention. Particularly in patients with multiple fibroids, non-homogeneous uterine tissue or small fibroid foci within the tissue, the likelihood of recurrence may reach 25\u201330%.<\/p>\n It is recommended to avoid sexual intercourse for several weeks after surgery. Your physician will determine the most appropriate time according to the progress of your recovery.<\/p>\n In conclusion, uterus-preserving fibroid surgery is a highly important treatment option for women who do not wish to lose their reproductive potential. Fibroids may affect women\u2019s quality of life and, if left untreated, may grow and lead to more significant health problems.<\/p>\n However, uterus-preserving surgery allows the fibroids to be removed while fertility is maintained, enabling women to continue their lives in a healthy manner.<\/p>\n It is important to seek support from a specialist gynaecologist to obtain detailed information about uterus-preserving fibroid surgery or to assess whether this treatment option is suitable for you. If you have any concerns about your reproductive health, you can protect your health by consulting an experienced specialist.<\/p>\n To receive guidance regarding women\u2019s health and obtain further information about uterus-preserving fibroid surgery, you may schedule an appointment with Prof. Dr \u015ead\u0131man K\u0131yka\u00e7 Alt\u0131nba\u015f, a Specialist in Obstetrics and Gynaecology practising in Ankara. Receiving specialist support is important for a healthy life and a safe treatment process.<\/p>\n \n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Uterus-preserving fibroid surgery is a surgical method aimed at treating fibroids, which are benign tumours within the uterus, without damaging the uterus and while preserving reproductive capacity.
