What is Robotic Myomectomy?
Why Choose Robotic Surgery for Fibroids?
Key benefits of robotic myomectomy include:
- Tiny incisions and minimal scarring
- Less blood loss and lower chance of transfusion
- Less pain and quicker return to work and routine life
- Better access to multiple or deep fibroids while preserving the uterus
- Strong, precise suturing of the uterus to support future pregnancy
How Robotic Myomectomy Is Done
A few small cuts are made
on the lower abdomen.
A thin 3D camera and robotic instruments are inserted
through these cuts.
Your abdomen is gently filled with gas so the surgeon can see clearly.
Dr. Shah’s movements guide
the robotic surgery.
Fibroids are identified, separated from the uterine muscle and removed.
The uterus is stitched in layers to restore strength and shape.
Robotic vs Laparoscopic vs Open Myomectomy
Feature | Robotic Myomectamy | Laparoscopic Myomectomy | Open (Abdominal) Myomectomy |
|---|---|---|---|
Cuts on abdomen | Small keyhole incisions | Small keyhole incisions | One larger incision |
View inside | High definition 3D, magnified | 2D or limited 3D | Direct line of sight |
Instrument movement | Wrist like, tremor filtered robotic arms | Straight instruments with limited range | Surgeon’s hands and instruments through large cut |
Blood loss | Often lowest, fewer transfusions in many series | Low to moderate | Usually highest blood loss |
Hospital stay | Often 1 to 2 days | Often 1 to 3 days | Often 3 days or more |
Recovery time | Fastest return to normal activities in many cases | Faster than open | Longest recovery |
Best for | Multiple, large or deep fibroids, fertility focused cases | Moderate fibroids in simpler locations | Very large fibroids where minimally invasive options are not feasible |
Robotic Myomectomy vs Hysterectomy
Many women fear that fibroid surgery means removal of the uterus. Robotic myomectomy is designed to remove fibroids and keep the uterus wherever it is safe.
Aspect | Robotic Myomectomy | Hysterectomy |
|---|---|---|
Uterus | Preserved, fibroids removed only | Uterus removed completely |
Future pregnancy | Often possible after healing | Not possible after uterus removal |
Main goal | Symptom relief with uterus preservation | Complete removal of uterus to stop symptoms |
Who is a Good Candidate
- Have fibroids causing heavy bleeding, pain, pressure, bloating or fertility issues
- Want to keep your uterus and, if possible, preserve fertility
- Have multiple or larger fibroids that need precise removal
- Are fit for minimally invasive surgery under general anesthesia

Recovery and Safety
Most women walk within a day, stay in the hospital for a short time and return to light work faster than after open surgery. Scars are small, and pain is often less, though you will still need to follow all post operative instructions carefully.
As with any surgery there are risks such as infection, bleeding, injury to nearby organs, blood clots and the possibility of fibroid recurrence because the uterus is preserved. Large reviews show that robotic myomectomy usually offers less blood loss, fewer transfusions and shorter hospital stay than open surgery, with good outcomes in experienced hands.
