Hysteroscopy: The process involves passing a scope a small, flexible tool through the cervix and vagina and into the uterus. During this surgery, no incisions are made. Your doctor will use the scope to snip out the fibroid during the surgery.
Laparoscopy: process, the fibroid will be removed using a scope. This treatment necessitates making a few tiny incisions in your belly, unlike the hysteroscopy. The scope will enter and exist in your body in this manner. Another option is to use a robot to help with this process.
Laparotomy: Your abdomen is cut during this surgery, and a single, larger cut is used to remove the fibroid.
