Myomectomy, sometimes also called fibroidectomy, refers to the surgical removal of uterine leiomyomas, also known as fibroids. In contrast to a hysterectomy , the uterus remains preserved and the woman retains her reproductive potential.
Uterine fibroids, also known as uterine leiomyomas, fibromyoma or fibroids, are benign smooth muscle tumors of the uterus, part of the female reproductive system.

A myoma is a type of tumor that involves muscle cells. [1] There are two main types of myoma: Leiomyomas which occur in smooth muscle. [1] They most commonly occur as uterine fibroids, but may also form in other locations.
A leiomyoma, also known as a fibroid, is a benign smooth muscle tumor that very rarely becomes cancer (0.1%). They can occur in any organ, but the most common forms occur in the uterus, small bowel, and the esophagus. Polycythemia may occur due to increased erythropoietin production as part of a paraneoplastic syndrome.
Horwitz and McKelway successfully performed the first myomectomy for myomatous erythrocytosis syndrome. [11] Perioperative bleeding and urogenital injuries were found to be the most frequent surgical complications in myomatous erythrocytosis syndrome cases, which are comparable to those encountered during the resection of a large myomatous uterus.
In addition to the tumor, doctors removed part of her pancreas, her spleen, a fibroid and 17 lymph nodes. The new mom told Hoda that she is officially cancer-free.
Illustration of uterine fibroids with examples of their possible locations. Uterine artery embolization (UAE, uterine fibroid embolization, or UFE) is a procedure in which an interventional radiologist uses a catheter to deliver small particles that block the blood supply to the uterine body.
It allowed the shelling out of the uterine fibroids while still preserving the fertility of women of reproductive age, thus giving them a chance to have children later on. [ 9 ] [ 14 ] Bonney's first myomectomy was recorded in 1913, when he successfully removed six fibroids from the uterus of a 30‐year‐old nulliparous woman. [ 16 ]
