Subserosal fibroids may also be removed on an outpatient basis via laparoscopy. Although more involved than hysteroscopy, placement of the fiberoptic laparoscope through a small incision in the navel, along with several other small incisions in the lower abdomen for operative instruments, allows for recovery in only several days. Intramural fibroids usually require removal through traditional abdominal surgery. If the fibroids are small and a woman is asymptomatic, surgery may not be necessary unless the fibroids grow in size. In summary, fibroids can develop in different locations with different implications.
Treatment depends on a woman's symptoms and reproductive interests.
