Laparoscopic Myomectomy
Laparoscopic myomectomy is a minimally invasive surgery that removes uterine fibroids (non-cancerous growths) while keeping the uterus intact. It is ideal for women who wish to manage symptoms or preserve fertility.
In Siliguri, Dr. Vinayak Das offers advanced laparoscopic fibroid surgery with small incisions, less pain, faster healing, and a strong focus on future reproductive health.

- Difficulty conceiving due to fibroids
- Recurrent miscarriages linked to fibroids
- Bladder or bowel problems caused by fibroid size
- Desire to retain the uterus and avoid hysterectomy
How the Procedure Works
- Performed under general anesthesia
- 3-4 small incisions (5-10 mm) are made in the abdomen
- A laparoscope (camera) guides the surgical instruments

- Most patients go home within 24 hours
