Fibroid Surgery
Myomectomy
Overview
Uterine fibroids are non-cancerous growths that can cause severe pelvic pain, heavy bleeding, and fertility issues. Dr. Shah is a recognized fibroid specialist, offering laparoscopic myomectomy to safely remove fibroids while preserving the uterus.
What to Expect
Through small abdominal incisions, a laparoscope is used to locate and meticulously remove the fibroids. The uterine muscle is then carefully reconstructed using advanced suturing techniques to ensure future reproductive health.
