What is Robotic Myomectomy?

Robotic myomectomy is an advanced minimally invasive surgical method in which the surgeon removes fibroids through small incisions with the aid of a robotic system.

Purpose

To remove fibroids, alleviate symptoms, and preserve the uterus if possible.

When is it Performed?

• Large fibroids
• Fibroids with difficult locations
• Numerous fibroids
• Patients planning pregnancy

How is the Surgery Performed?
