Whether to choose minimally invasive or open surgery for adenomyoma needs to be judged according to clinical symptoms, age, and surgical requirements, and it is not possible to choose a surgical option directly.
Minimally invasive surgery for adenomyoma is usually performed vaginally or laparoscopically, which is less damaging to the patient’s body and has a shorter postoperative recovery time, which effectively reduces the chance of heavy bleeding or postoperative infection.
Open surgery is the more traditional method of adenomyoma surgery, which requires opening up the abdominal cavity to directly remove the tumor, which is more traumatic and slower to recover after surgery.
The choice between minimally invasive or open surgery for adenomyomas is not straightforward. If the tumor size of adenomyoma is too large or produces infiltration of surrounding tissues, adhesions in the uterine cavity, etc., then open surgery is recommended.
Open surgery is also recommended for older women or those who are more difficult to operate on. Minimally invasive surgery can be performed if the tumor is small, the symptoms are mild, and the surgery is less difficult.
Women with adenomyomas should consult their doctor for advice on choosing the right surgical option.
