Open Myomectomy in India for Large or Multiple Uterine Fibroids

Open myomectomy in India is a uterus-preserving surgical procedure used to remove uterine fibroids (also called leiomyomas) while maintaining the possibility of future pregnancy. Uterine fibroids are non-cancerous growths that develop within or around the muscular wall of the uterus and may cause symptoms such as heavy menstrual bleeding, pelvic pain or pressure, infertility, and recurrent pregnancy loss.

Open myomectomy is typically recommended when fibroids are large, numerous, deeply embedded in the uterine wall, or when minimally invasive options such as laparoscopic or hysteroscopic surgery are not suitable. During the procedure, a gynecologic surgeon makes an abdominal incision to access the uterus, removes the fibroids individually, and reconstructs the uterine wall using layered suturing techniques to preserve uterine strength and fertility potential.

Diagnosis and treatment planning usually involve pelvic ultrasound or MRI imaging to determine the number, size, and location of fibroids. These investigations help specialists decide whether open surgery, laparoscopic myomectomy, or other fibroid treatments are most appropriate for the patient.

India has become a preferred destination for international patients seeking uterine fibroid surgery due to experienced gynecologic surgeons, modern hospital infrastructure, and significantly lower treatment costs compared with many countries in the Middle East, Europe, the United Kingdom, and the United States.
