A Giant Fibroid Successfully Managed
Through Advanced Laparoscopy
By Dr. Amita Shah
A Fibroid That Didn’t Stop Growing
Despite 1-2 years of consultations and treatments, the fibroid increased from 8-9 cm to nearly 15 cm, causing rising symptoms and concern.
The Surgical Challenge
The fibroid’s large size led most surgeons to recommend open surgery, citing safety concerns and technical limitations with laparoscopy.
Expertise That Redefined the Treatment Plan
With careful assessment and advanced laparoscopic skills, Dr. Amita Shah safely performed a laparoscopic myomectomy using contained morcellation.
In-Bag Morcellation: A Safer Surgical Technique
The fibroid is contained within a specialized bag before morcellation, minimizing the risk of tissue dissemination during laparoscopic removal.
Inside the Operating Room
A complex large-fibroid case successfully managed through a completely laparoscopic approach.
A Smooth and Safe Recovery
By avoiding open surgery, the patient benefited from faster healing, minimal scarring, and high overall satisfaction.
Large Fibroids Don’t Always Mean Open Surgery
In experienced hands, minimally invasive laparoscopy can be a safe and effective option for complex fibroid cases.
When Expertise Changes the Outcome
This case proves that advanced laparoscopy can safely treat even very large fibroids, expanding treatment options for patients.
