Adenomyoma Removal

Adenomyoma Removal

Adenomyoma removal is a surgical procedure that involves the removal of adenomyomas, which are growths that occur when endometrial tissue grows into the muscle layer of the uterus. Adenomyomas can cause heavy menstrual bleeding, pain, and fertility problems.

The surgery may be performed using different techniques depending on the size and location of the adenomyomas. Some of the techniques used for adenomyoma removal include:

  • Hysteroscopic resection: This technique involves inserting a hysteroscope, which is a thin, lighted tube, through the vagina and cervix into the uterus. The surgeon uses a wire loop or other instruments to remove the adenomyomas through the hysteroscope.
  • Laparoscopic excision: This technique involves making small incisions in the abdomen and using a camera and special instruments to remove the adenomyomas.
  • Open surgery: In some cases, open surgery may be necessary to remove larger adenomyomas. This involves making an incision in the abdomen to access the uterus and remove the adenomyomas.

After the procedure, patients may experience some pain, cramping, or vaginal bleeding for a few days. Recovery time may vary depending on the type of adenomyoma removal performed, but most patients can return to normal activities within a few weeks.

Adenomyoma removal is a safe and effective option for women who are experiencing symptoms related to adenomyomas. It's important to discuss the risks and benefits of the procedure with a healthcare provider to determine the best course of action.
