One surgical option for treating a uterine fibroid is a myomectomy carried out laparoscopically. In this technique, up to four small ‘holes’ are made on the abdomen and laparoscopic instruments are introduced via the holes to perform the surgery.
According to medical history, during the lifetime of Greek physician Hippocrates in 460-375 BC, a fibroid was known as a “uterine stone”.
The first surgery for fibroid was done for the late American president Abraham Lincoln’s cousin in 1809. The term fibroid was introduced in 1860.
