Laparoscopic Myomectomy
Fibroids in or on the wall of the womb can be removed through small cuts, keeping the womb and allowing a quicker recovery than open surgery.
Laparoscopic Surgery
Removing fibroids through small cuts while keeping the womb
Myomectomy means removing fibroids and repairing the womb. The laparoscopic approach uses keyhole surgery for fibroids in the wall of the womb or on its outer surface. It suits women who want to keep their womb, often for a future pregnancy.
Recovery after keyhole surgery is usually faster than after open surgery.
Dr Jasdev plans each myomectomy from detailed imaging, and repairs the womb wall carefully for future pregnancy.
Careful assessment before surgery
Scans, symptoms and past operations are reviewed, so surgery is only suggested when it is likely to help.
Fertility kept in mind
If you hope to conceive in future, surgery is planned to protect your womb, tubes and ovaries as far as possible.
Clear recovery guidance
You will know what recovery involves, when to return to normal activities and when your review is due.

How the surgery works
Under general anaesthetic, instruments are passed through small cuts in the tummy. Each fibroid is cut out, and the womb wall is stitched in layers. Fibroids are removed in small pieces or through a slightly larger cut. The operation usually takes one to three hours.
Who may benefit
Women with fibroids causing heavy bleeding, pain or pressure, and women whose fibroids may be affecting fertility. Very large or numerous fibroids may be better treated with open surgery.
What to expect
Most women stay in hospital for one or two nights. Recovery usually takes two to four weeks. You will be advised to wait several months before trying to conceive, and a caesarean birth may be recommended in a future pregnancy.
How Dr Jasdev works with you
He combines surgical and fertility experience, and he explains each option plainly, including when surgery may not be needed. Plans follow current evidence and your hopes for the future. You will have time to ask questions before anything is decided. Women see him from Kuala Lumpur and across Malaysia, and some travel from neighbouring countries.
