Is a myomectomy inpatient or outpatient surgery?

It will depend on the technique used for myomectomy and if your surgery will be inpatient or outpatient. A myomectomy is a surgical procedure used to remove fibroids in the uterus. An abdominal myomectomy or laparotomy usually requires an inpatient admission of a day or two. However, laparoscopic myomectomy can be done outpatient or with just one overnight stay. Hysteroscopic myomectomy is usually done completely outpatient.
