Laparoscopic Fibroid Treatment

Laparoscopic fibroid removal is a minimally invasive procedure to remove uterine fibroids, benign (not cancerous) growths in a woman's uterus. The procedure can help relieve uterine fibroid symptoms such as abnormally heavy menstrual bleeding, pain in the pelvic region, and pressure on the bladder or bowel.

What size fibroid is needed for laparoscopic surgery?

Most experts believe that about 9-10 centimeters (about 4 inches) diameter is the largest size fibroid that should be removed laparoscopically.
