Removal of fibroids from the uterus, the most common location of fibroids, is termed myomectomy. Myomectomy is the technique most used for symptomatic uterine fibroids in patients who are desirous of future fertility or uterine preservation.  The minimally invasive approach is preferred over abdominal when feasible and appropriate. The selection may be influenced by the number of fibroids that need to be removed and the surgeons experience.
