Private Fibroid Removal (Myomectomy) in Sutton Coldfield
Laparoscopic or open myomectomy to remove uterine fibroids whilst preserving the uterus. For women with heavy bleeding, pelvic pain or fertility concerns.
What is fibroid removal (myomectomy)?
Fibroids (uterine leiomyomas) are non-cancerous growths that develop in or around the uterus. They are extremely common, affecting approximately 70% of women by age 50, though many cause no symptoms. When fibroids do cause problems — heavy menstrual bleeding, pelvic pain, urinary symptoms, or fertility difficulties — treatment may be required.
Myomectomy is the surgical removal of fibroids whilst preserving the uterus, making it the preferred surgical option for women who wish to maintain fertility or who wish to keep their uterus. The procedure can be performed laparoscopically (keyhole), hysteroscopically (through the cervix for submucosal fibroids), or via open surgery depending on the size, number and position of the fibroids.

What happens at The Vesey
From your first consultation to discharge — here is what to expect at every stage.
Consultant assessment
Review of ultrasound or MRI findings, assessment of fibroid size, number and position, and a discussion of surgical approach options.
Pre-operative assessment
Blood tests (fibroids commonly cause anaemia), ECG, anaesthetic review. Iron supplementation may be recommended before surgery.
Myomectomy
The surgical approach depends on fibroid characteristics. Laparoscopic myomectomy uses small incisions and has a faster recovery. Open myomectomy is preferred for large or numerous fibroids.
Recovery
Laparoscopic: 2–4 weeks recovery. Open: 4–6 weeks recovery. Uterine healing takes 3–6 months before attempting pregnancy.
Recovery — what to expect
Laparoscopic myomectomy: hospital 1–2 nights, return to work 2–3 weeks. Open myomectomy: hospital 2–4 nights, return to work 4–6 weeks.
Your consultant will provide you with a personalised recovery plan at your assessment appointment, based on your individual procedure, health status, and activity requirements.
