Myomectomy vs. Hysterectomy: What’s the Difference? |Dr. Rakesh Khan| Laparoscopic & Robotic Surgeon

Fibroids are common, but when surgery becomes necessary, one of the biggest questions is: should only the fibroids be removed, or should the uterus also be removed? In this detailed Doc Talk with Dr. Rakesh Khan, we explain the difference between Myomectomy and Hysterectomy and help you understand why these two procedures are not interchangeable. Myomectomy is a surgical procedure in which fibroids are removed while preserving the uterus. Hysterectomy, on the other hand, involves removal of the uterus. The choice between these procedures depends on several factors, including the number, size and location of fibroids, symptoms, age, overall health, severity of the condition, and whether preserving the uterus is an important consideration for the patient. The video discusses important aspects of fibroid surgery, including when Myomectomy may be considered, when Hysterectomy may be recommended, how the procedures differ, and why there is no single surgical option that is right for every patient. We also discuss common concerns around fibroid treatment, recovery, fertility considerations, and the role of laparoscopic surgery in appropriately selected patients. If you have been diagnosed with uterine fibroids and are considering surgery, understanding your options can help you have a more informed discussion with your surgeon. Don’t choose a surgical approach based on someone else’s experience. Consult your doctor for a proper evaluation and personalised treatment guidance.
