WHO WANTS TO BE A MOTHER…
Myoma problem can lead to complete removal of the uterus, especially in Turkey. This is seen as a sad event for women who want to have children in the future. Considering these conditions and wishes, we surgeons perform surgeries that protect the uterus in these patients. During the operation, we only remove the fibroids without touching the uterus. We call this operation “MYOMEKTOMI”. Myomectomy surgery is a very comfortable procedure. In eligible patients, the patient is discharged on the same day with laparoscopic (closed method) myomectomy. In addition, while the recovery period is shorter, more aesthetic results can be obtained in terms of scarring.
