About this episode
For patients who want to keep their uterus, myomectomy is the procedure to ask about, and the surgeon's experience matters more than almost anything else. The panel covers how minimally invasive myomectomy works, the realistic odds of recurrence, what to do about it, and the case for choosing hysterectomy when it's the right answer. Including the conversation no patient should have to fight for: it's your decision, not the surgeon's.
We're not going to let you die to keep your uterus. But we're not going to decide for you that you don't need it, either. (Dr. Arlene Song)
