When uterine fibroids or ovarian cysts are affecting your fertility, comfort, or daily life, removing them through laparoscopy is the gentlest approach. Modern technique focuses on removing only what needs to be removed - preserving your uterus, your ovaries, and your egg reserve. Most patients are discharged the same day.

Ultrasound, and sometimes MRI, to map the size, number, and exact location of the fibroid or cyst. This determines whether surgery is needed at all - and if so, the best approach.
Routine pre-anaesthesia checks. We also check ovarian reserve (AMH) before surgery, so we have a baseline and a clear plan to protect your fertility.
General anaesthesia with modern, short-acting agents.
Three to four small keyhole incisions (5 mm). A high-definition 3D laparoscope gives the surgeon precise depth perception inside the pelvic cavity.
The fibroid (myomectomy) or cyst (cystectomy) is carefully separated from healthy tissue. The uterus is preserved. For ovarian cysts, the ovary itself and its egg reserve are protected - this is called ovarian-sparing surgery.
Fine internal sutures close the affected area. The tissue heals from within. Skin incisions are closed with absorbable stitches or skin staplers.
Short observation in the recovery area, then most patients are discharged the same evening. Light activity within 5 to 7 days, return to office work within 1 to 2 weeks. Heavy work and exercise after 3 to 4 weeks.
A post-operative review confirms healing. For patients planning pregnancy, your doctor advises the right window to start trying - usually 3 to 6 months after surgery, depending on the procedure.
