What happens if a uterine fibroid is treated with an open surgery?

Patient's question:

Feeling weak and sore all over, not very comfortable, what will happen with an abdominal myoma of the uterus?

Doctor's answer:

Hysteromyomectomy can be performed in two ways: open surgery and laparoscopic (or hysteroscopic) surgery. Open surgery is generally more suitable for cases where the size of the uterine fibroids is large, or the number of fibroids is excessive. It is more advantageous to perform open surgery because many small-sized fibroids are difficult to detect and locate under laparoscopy. Additionally, large uterine fibroids are prone to tearing during laparoscopic removal, resulting in more tears. Lastly, I wish you a speedy recovery.
