Laser removal of uterine fibroids
Uterine fibroids are oncological diseases and are benign tumors that form on any part of the uterus. For a number of reasons, such as hormonal disorders, obesity and inflammatory processes, so—called myomatous nodules appear in the muscular structures of the organ - small rounded formations. They give rise to the tumor. The earlier the disease is diagnosed, the easier and safer it is to eliminate it.
One of the most effective modern methods of combating the disease is the removal of uterine fibroids with a laser. The cost of such an operation in Russia is about $ 1,000, which is quite profitable given the complexity of this high-tech operation. In the early stages of the disease, laser therapy is the optimal form of treatment for uterine fibroids.
How is the procedure going?
Laser removal of uterine fibroids is performed laparoscopically, that is, through a small puncture in the patient's abdominal cavity. Thus, it is possible to almost completely avoid blood loss.
Laser destruction of the cervix or other affected areas is performed using a high—tech device, a laser resectoscope. It is inserted into the operated area through a laparoscopic puncture. The resectoscope delivers laser energy to the tumor in a dosed manner, which penetrates into the neoplasm and effectively destroys it without affecting neighboring tissues. And pathological cells heat up and die under the influence of a laser.
Advantages of the method
Laser surgery on the cervix is organ—preserving, and this is its main advantage. She is particularly popular among patients for other reasons:
- low injury rate. The operation does not require surgical excision of the uterus, and the laser acts pointwise on the tumor, bypassing healthy tissues. So laser therapy for cervical cancer is not only safe, but also painless.;
- absence of scars and scars;
- the operation is performed without anesthesia;
- short duration of the procedure. Innovative technologies make it possible to perform high-quality intervention quickly, exposing the body to minimal stress.;
- short recovery period;
- preservation of reproductive function. After surgery, pregnancy and childbirth planning is possible.
After two to three days of rehabilitation, the patient will be able to return to normal life. A woman's menstrual and reproductive functions are restored, and her quality of life is significantly improved.
The cost of the procedure
One of the main advantages of laser removal of uterine fibroids is the cost of the operation. It is caused by a number of factors.
Firstly, the operation is performed with the help of the most complex, expensive equipment, which is not equipped with all clinics. Secondly, not every doctor can work effectively with such equipment — it requires unique skills and experience.
Taking into account all this (as well as other advantages of laser destruction of uterine fibroids), the average price of the operation, which is $ 1,000, looks very reasonable. In some cases, the entire procedure can cost as much as $900.
