Myomectomy in India
Also known as Fibroid removal surgery, uterine fibroid surgery, laparoscopic myomectomy, fibroidectomy
The short answer
A myomectomy in India costs between USD 2,500 and USD 4,500 for international patients, a fraction of Western pricing for the same fibroid-removal surgery. Unlike hysterectomy, myomectomy removes only the fibroids and preserves the uterus, making it the preferred option for women who want to retain fertility. Success rates for symptom relief run 90 to 95 percent at experienced centres.
About Myomectomy
A myomectomy removes uterine fibroids, non-cancerous growths in the wall of the uterus, while leaving the uterus itself intact. It is the preferred surgical option for women who still want to have children or who simply want to keep their uterus, and it is typically recommended when fibroids cause heavy bleeding, pelvic pain, or pressure symptoms that medication has not resolved.
Procedures Available
Laparoscopic myomectomy is used for most fibroids that are moderate in size or number, working through small abdominal incisions. Hysteroscopic myomectomy is used for fibroids growing inside the uterine cavity and needs no external incision at all. Larger or more numerous fibroids sometimes call for an open abdominal myomectomy, which involves a longer incision and a longer recovery.
Cost
The estimate covers evaluation, the surgery, anaesthesia, and hospital stay through discharge. Robotic-assisted myomectomy costs more than standard laparoscopic surgery. Cases with a large number of fibroids or larger individual fibroids move toward the higher end of the range because of longer surgical time.
How Long the Trip Takes
Most patients plan for 10 to 14 days in India, covering pre-op evaluation, 2 to 3 days in hospital after surgery, and a short period of local recovery before flying home.
Choosing a Hospital
Fibroid removal while preserving the uterus is technically more demanding than a hysterectomy, since the surgeon has to control bleeding and repair the uterine wall carefully. Choose a gynaecologist with specific experience in laparoscopic or robotic myomectomy rather than general gynaecological surgery, particularly if fertility preservation matters to you.
Why patients choose India for this
The same laparoscopic myomectomy that costs several times more in the US or UK is available in India at a fraction of the price, with comparable surgical technique.
Leading Indian gynaecologists have deep experience specifically in uterus-preserving fibroid surgery, not just hysterectomy.
Laparoscopic, hysteroscopic, and robotic myomectomy are all widely available, letting the approach be matched to the fibroid type rather than defaulting to open surgery.
Surgery can usually be scheduled within days of consultation, against longer waits in many public healthcare systems abroad.

How Myomectomy is done
- EvaluationUltrasound or MRI maps the number, size, and location of fibroids to plan the surgical approach.
- AnaesthesiaGeneral anaesthesia is administered for laparoscopic, hysteroscopic, or open myomectomy.
- Fibroid removalThe surgeon removes each fibroid individually, working to control bleeding and preserve healthy uterine tissue.
- Uterine repairThe uterine wall is carefully sutured closed to support future pregnancy if that is a goal.
- Recovery roomThe patient is monitored for a few hours after surgery before being moved to a standard room.
- Ward stay2 to 3 days in hospital for pain management and monitoring before discharge.
Recovery and what to expect
- First 24 hoursPain is managed with medication; most patients are up and walking a short distance within a day.
- Day 2-3Discharge from hospital for laparoscopic or hysteroscopic cases.
- Week 1-2Light daily activity resumes; heavy lifting and strenuous exercise remain restricted.
- Week 4-6Most patients are cleared to resume normal activity, including travel and work.
- Month 3-6If planning pregnancy, most surgeons recommend waiting this long for the uterine wall to fully heal.
