Numerous patients inquire about whether they should have fibroids removed in order to “clean themselves up” to enhance their chances of pregnancy. Unfortunately, many surgeons will go along with a patient’s wishes to have fibroids removed, even though evidence shows that fibroids do not really prevent pregnancy, and that women with fibroids do not have a higher risk of a bad pregnancy.

Lyons MD, trainer of thousands of surgeons internationally over the past 16 years, is more in-demand as a mentor than ever.

The LSH, or laparoscopic supracervical hysterectomy developed in 1989, leaves the woman’s cervix intact as a keystone support for the anatomy. It has also been shown in studies to help improve sexual function post-surgery. Reasons for this include the fact that the vagina hasn’t been scarred or pulled down as may occur in a laparoscopically-assisted vaginal hysterectomy. (PRWeb Jun 28, 2006)
