What Happens during the MyoSure Procedure?
How MyoSure Myomectomy Works
MyoSure is a highly effective procedure where a specialized gynecologist or surgeon can remove fibroids, polyps and other unwanted intrauterine tissue without having to remove the uterus.
MyoSure Myomectomy Step 1
During MyoSure Myomectomy the doctor first inserts a very tiny camera into the vagina, past the cervix and into the uterus, allowing him to see inside.
MyoSure Myomectomy Step 2
Next, the doctor passes a slim wand through the vagina and past the cervix into the uterus. One side of the wand is a surgical instrument that is used to gently cut the fibroid or polyp into tiny pieces. The wand also has a suction opening that sucks the removed tissue out of the body.
A one inch fibroid (the size of a grape) can be typically be completely removed with MyoSure Myomectomy in about 10 minutes.
MyoSure Myomectomy Step 3
After the fibroid(s) or polyp(s) have been removed, the wand is taken out. There are no stitches, no bandages, and nothing from the MyoSure Myomectomy is left in the patient’s body.
Since Myomectomy is typically an outpatient procedure – patients can usually go home the same day.
