Restoring Fertility & Optimizing Uterine health
Myomectomy
A myomectomy is a specialized surgical procedure designed to remove uterine fibroids (benign growths in the uterus) while preserving the uterus. For many women facing infertility or pregnancy challenges due to fibroids, myomectomy can be a life-changing step toward achieving a healthy pregnancy.
Not all fibroids require removal; decisions are tailored to each woman’s unique circumstances, such as the size, location, and impact of fibroids on fertility or pregnancy.
Dr. Hossam Elzeiny, a renowned fertility specialist, offers a range of myomectomy techniques, ensuring that every procedure is performed with precision, care, and a focus on optimal reproductive outcomes.
Tailored Solutions for Every Case
Types of Myomectomy
Hysteroscopic Myomectomy
Best for: Submucosal fibroids that grow into the uterine cavity. These fibroids often hinder embryo implantation or increase miscarriage risks, Removal of these fibroids is essential before undergoing IVF and may also improve the likelihood of natural conception.
Procedure
Performed through the vaginal and cervical canal using a hysteroscope, with no external incisions required.
Effect on Fertility
Significantly improves implantation rates by restoring the uterine cavity’s normal shape.
Highly effective for women planning to conceive shortly after surgery.
Recovery Time
Minimal downtime, typically within a few days
Laparoscopic Myomectomy
Best for
Small to medium-sized intramural (within the uterine wall) or subserosal (on the outer uterine wall) fibroids. These fibroids rarely affect fertility, but surgery may be beneficial in select cases, such as repeated implantation failure.
Procedure
Minimally invasive surgery through small abdominal incisions, using a laparoscope for precision.
Effect on Fertility
May improve outcomes in specific cases of recurrent fertility challenges.
Quicker recovery and reduced risk of post-operative adhesions compared to open surgery.
Recovery Time: 2–4 weeks.
Open (Abdominal) Myomectomy
Best for
Large, multiple, or deeply embedded fibroids. Fibroids distorting the uterine cavity or displacing the ovaries (which can complicate IVF) are possible indications for surgery.
Procedure
Performed via an abdominal incision, allowing the removal of numerous or complex fibroids.
Effect on Fertility
Highly effective for restoring fertility in challenging cases.
Essential for improving access to ovaries during IVF when fibroids cause displacement.
Recovery Time: 6–8 weeks.

Myomectomy & Fertility
How Myomectomy Can Transform Your Fertility
- Restoring Uterine Function: Removal of fibroids that distort the uterine cavity enhances embryo implantation and pregnancy outcomes.
- Reducing Miscarriage Risks: Resolves issues linked to recurrent pregnancy loss caused by fibroids.
- Minimizing Pregnancy Complications: Reduces risks of red degeneration of fibroids and associated pain during pregnancy, preterm labor, fetal growth restriction, and abnormal placental attachment.
- Future Planning: Women are usually advised to wait approximately 3 months before trying to conceive to allow the uterus to heal fully.
Considerations & Risks
- Scar Tissue (Adhesions): These can form post-surgery, potentially affecting fertility.
- Uterine Rupture Risk: A rare but possible complication in future pregnancies, particularly after extensive uterine repair. Caesarean delivery may be recommended to reduce this risk.
- Fibroid Recurrence: New fibroids may develop over time, especially if there is a genetic predisposition.
