LSH vs Myomectomy to remove a 9 cm Fibroid
Hi I am Jennifer, age of 49 - a new member here. I had a 9cm intramural fribroid that my ob doctor suggested to be removed since it grew 9 mm in three months.
I have options of LSH to remove uterus or an invasion myomectomy to just remove fribroid.
I know LSH has minimally invasion and less recovering time. But my main concern is that it may damage the pelvic floor and cause other organs lower and have other problems in the future.
What kind side effects of LSH has? Should I go for LSH?

Hi Jennifer:
Here is a link for information re laparascopic hyst https://www.hystersisters.com/vb2/vie...sterectomy.htm and also a link for myomectomy http://www.myomectomy.net/
Please consider a 2nd or 3rd medical opinion (if you haven't already) to help you figure out what is the best course of treatment. I am sending huge cyberhugs

Re: LSH vs Myomectomy to remove a 9 cm Fibroid
Hi, I am 53, pre-menopause and also had a 9 cm fibroid. I had it removed last Friday. I had it taken out with a da vinci myomectomy. It was out patient and I was walking on Saturday! I work from home and worked today 1/2 day. I have 4 small incisions in my abdomen - no pain, just sore. Highly recommend looking into this solution. Good luck!

Re: LSH vs Myomectomy to remove a 9 cm Fibroid
Can I ask where your fibroid was located? I have been told that the myometcomy or hysterectomy by da vinci would be very hard to do. Mine is around the same size.

Re: LSH vs Myomectomy to remove a 9 cm Fibroid
My fibroids were in the back of my uterus. When I went to my follow up appointment, the doctor said I actually had several (3) - they were all in the back.
The key to the da vinci surgery is finding an experienced, skilled surgeon. Wishing you the best of luck!

I agree. Find a good da Vinci surgeon. I had my myomectomy on Jan. 2 and the recovery was very easy. I'm already noticing drastic improvement in my symptoms. Good luck!

Re: LSH vs Myomectomy to remove a 9 cm Fibroid
Hi Jennifer, Don't know if you made your decision yet or not. I had the options between UAE, LSH and Da Vinci myo. Originally I had opted for the LSH, but in doing some research found a bit of concern over bladder-related issues post-op. Even before my fibroid showed up I dealt with stress-incontinence issues, and didn't want a procedure that would possible make things worse in that department. Good luck and Ihope this helps!
