Laparoscopic Adenomyomectomy

What is Laparoscopic Adenomyomectomy?

Laparoscopic adenomyomectomy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure designed to treat adenomyosis, a condition where the inner lining of the uterus grows into the muscle wall. This procedure uses small incisions and specialized laparoscopic instruments to remove the affected tissue, offering several benefits over traditional open surgery, such as reduced scarring, less postoperative pain, and a faster recovery.

Who needs a Laparoscopic Adenomyomectomy?

Laparoscopic adenomyomectomy may be recommended for individuals experiencing symptoms associated with adenomyosis, such as:

Chronic pelvic pain.
Heavy menstrual bleeding.
Cramping
Pressure or discomfort in the pelvic region.

These symptoms can significantly impact daily life and quality of life. If conservative treatments or medications have not provided relief, a laparoscopic adenomyomectomy may be a suitable option.

Benefits of Laparoscopic Adenomyomectomy

Shorter recovery time: Patients typically experience a faster recovery, often returning to daily activities within a few days.
Minimal scarring: Small incisions result in minimal scarring, preserving a more natural body appearance.
Reduced risk of infection: The minimally invasive nature of the procedure decreases the risk of post-surgical infections.
Enhanced precision: Surgeons can perform the procedure with greater accuracy, targeting adenomyosis without affecting surrounding tissue.
Lower pain levels: Postoperative discomfort is generally less severe compared to open surgery.

Laparoscopic Adenomyomectomy Procedure

Preparation: The procedure starts with anesthesia to ensure patient comfort during the surgery.
Incisions: Small incisions are made in the abdomen to allow insertion of laparoscopic instruments.
Visualization: A laparoscope (a thin, lighted tube with a camera) is introduced to visualize the uterus and adenomyosis.
Surgical removal: Using specialized instruments, the surgeon carefully removes the adenomyotic tissue.
Closure: Incisions are closed using absorbable stitches, and the patient is monitored during recovery.

By understanding each step of the laparoscopic adenomyomectomy, patients can approach their treatment with confidence, knowing that they are in capable hands at Shukan Hospital & IVF Centre.
