daVinci Myomectomy

Fibroid tumors are common within the uterus and are typically non-cancerous.  These tumors can be single or grouped together.  Regardless of size, fibroid tumors can cause menstrual bleeding, infertility and pelvic pain.

More and more, women are opting for a procedure called a myomectomy. Physicians are now able to remove these types of tumors without performing a hysterectomy.  One of the benefits of having this type of procedure is that the uterus remains in tact.   Physicians also perform this procedure minimally invasively by making small incisions to remove the tumors and repair the uterus, which is crucial for reducing any risk of the uterus rupturing during pregnancy.
