This book offers a discussion of the preoperative counseling, diagnosis, and management of fibroids by exploring various imaging modalities and surgical techniques including hysteroscopy, laparoscopy, and robotic surgery and provide a global overview of the evaluation of fibroids along with the surgical nuances in their treatment modalities. This book is suitable for any practicing obstetrics/gynecology generalists who may want to enhance their surgical skills in minimal access surgery for fibroids. This may include those who have a special interest in minimally invasive gynecologic surgery, surgical fellows, and obstetrics/gynecology residents. The authors of the book are well recognized in their fields. The contributors are primarily from India with some from Italy, Germany, Thailand, Switzerland, Australia, and Russia, with a few from the United States. The 22 chapters address issues such as challenges in obtaining proper informed preoperative consent, in the diagnosis of fibroids through various imaging modalities, and in the surgical treatment of fibroids with myomectomy via hysteroscopic, laparoscopic, and robotic approaches. It discusses thesurgical approach to cervical, broad ligament, and parasitic fibroids, includes chapters on how to manage secondary hemorrhage after myomectomy, and provides recommendations on when to convert from laparoscopy to laparotomy. It highlights both the conservative surgical approach with myomectomy and definitive surgery with hysterectomy through laparoscopy, along with a discussion of morcellation techniques.
