The Sequential Surgical Journey
1. Pre-Surgical Consultation & Mapping
Dr. Raja conducts a detailed assessment, using advanced 3D ultrasound or MRI mapping to precisely identify the number, size, and location of fibroids for a targeted surgical approach.
2. Precise Surgical Access
The procedure is typically performed laparoscopically or through robotic-assisted technology. Small incisions are made, allowing for the insertion of specialized instruments with minimal tissue disruption.
3. Uterine-Sparing Fibroid Excision
Each fibroid is carefully dissected from the uterine wall. Dr. Raja prioritizes the preservation of healthy uterine muscle, ensuring the integrity of the organ for future health and reproductive plans.
4. Multi-Layer Reconstruction
The uterine incisions are meticulously sutured in multiple layers. This detailed reconstruction is vital for preventing scar weakness and optimizing the healing process of the uterine wall.
5. Final Review & Recovery
Following a final check of the repair sites, incisions are closed with dissolvable sutures. The patient is moved to a private recovery area where Dr. Raja personally monitors the initial healing phase.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the expected recovery period after fibroid surgery?
Recovery times vary between laparoscopic and open surgical approaches. Typically, patients return to light activities in 2 weeks and full normal routines within 4 to 6 weeks. Dr. Raja provides a personalized post-operative care plan to ensure your comfort and support.
Can I expect to conceive successfully after a myomectomy?
Myomectomy is specifically designed to remove fibroids while preserving the uterus for future pregnancies. Many women experience improved fertility outcomes once the uterine environment is cleared of large or poorly positioned fibroids.
Will fibroids return after they have been surgically removed?
While the fibroids that were removed do not grow back, new ones may potentially develop over time due to hormonal factors. Long-term monitoring with Dr. Raja ensures that any new growth is managed proactively to maintain your health.
Is the cost of fibroid surgery covered by private medical insurance?
Most private health insurance providers in Australia cover the surgical removal of fibroids. We provide clear financial estimates and all necessary clinical codes ahead of time so you can confirm your coverage with your provider.
