Patient's question:
My wife is 49 years old this year. During a routine check-up, she was found to have a uterine fibroid. She heard that a minimally invasive surgery might be required. I don't know if this surgery is risky and whether it is expensive. How is the surgery performed? Can uterine fibroids be treated with minimally invasive surgery?Doctor's answer:
How is the minimally invasive surgery for uterine fibroids? What is the price? Many people worry about the high cost of the surgery and are unable to bear it alone. In fact, patients can rest assured because advanced instruments save a lot of manpower and reduce the risk of surgery. If calculated this way, the price of minimally invasive surgery for uterine fibroids is even lower than the cost of traditional laparoscopic removal of fibroids. Minimally invasive surgery for uterine fibroids is currently the most effective method for treating uterine fibroids. The doctor makes three small incisions of 5 millimeters in size in hidden areas of the patient's abdomen, and then inserts a laparoscope. Through the television surveillance screen connected to the laparoscope, the situation inside the magnified abdominal cavity can be clearly observed, and then the instruments left outside the patient's body are operated to perform the treatment. The surgery does not require an incision in the abdomen, causing less psychological trauma and allowing patients to recover quickly.
