Comparative Study of Open Myomectomy Vs Laparoscopic Myomectomy at Tertiary Care Hospital

Introduction Myomectomy, a surgical procedure for the removal of uterine fibroids, is crucial for preserving the uterus and fertility in women. The two primary approaches to myomectomy are open myomectomy (OM) and laparoscopic myomectomy (LM). Recent studies have demonstrated that LM is associated with reduced postoperative complications and faster recovery times compared to OM. For instance, a systematic review revealed that laparoscopic techniques generally result in lower blood loss and shorter hospital stays1.
