Adenomyosis is a chronic gynecological condition where endometrial tissue—normally lining the uterus—grows into the muscular wall of the uterus (myometrium). This can cause the uterus to enlarge and leads to symptoms such as:
While adenomyosis is often managed medically or with hysterectomy, women who wish to preserve their uterus or maintain fertility may benefit from a highly specialized procedure known as adenomyomectomy.
An adenomyomectomy is a complex surgical procedure designed to remove localized or diffuse adenomyotic tissue from the uterus while preserving the surrounding healthy uterine muscle. It is one of the few fertility-preserving surgical options for women with symptomatic adenomyosis who are not ready to undergo a hysterectomy.
Unlike traditional treatments that remove the entire uterus, adenomyomectomy targets the diseased tissue itself, helping to restore normal uterine anatomy and function.
You may be a candidate for adenomyomectomy if you:
Ideal candidates typically have focal adenomyosis, meaning the disease is concentrated in one area rather than spread throughout the entire uterus. However, with careful evaluation and surgical planning, even more extensive cases can be treated successfully.
Adenomyomectomy requires precise mapping of adenomyotic tissue, followed by careful excision and reconstruction of the uterine wall. Dr. Meyer performs the procedure laparoscopically or robotically, using small incisions, advanced imaging, and microsurgical techniques.
The goal is to remove as much adenomyosis as possible while maintaining the strength and functionality of the uterus for menstruation, comfort, and future pregnancy.
Adenomyomectomy offers several important advantages for eligible patients:
In carefully selected patients, studies show a significant improvement in fertility outcomes and quality of life post-surgery.
One of the primary reasons women choose adenomyomectomy is the desire to conceive. Although adenomyosis has been associated with reduced implantation rates, miscarriage, and infertility, excising the diseased tissue can reverse many of these challenges.
Dr. Meyer works closely with fertility specialists to optimize timing, hormonal support, and conception strategies post-surgery. His goal is not just to relieve symptoms—but to support your long-term reproductive goals with compassion and medical precision.
Dr. Meyer is committed to performing adenomyomectomy using minimally invasive techniques—either laparoscopic or robotic—depending on the case. These techniques offer:
Minimally invasive adenomyomectomy is a technically challenging procedure, requiring deep expertise in pelvic surgery, uterine reconstruction, and preservation of reproductive organs. Dr. Meyer’s advanced training and focus on fertility preservation place him among the top surgeons performing this operation in the region.
Recovery varies based on the complexity of the procedure and the extent of adenomyosis. Most patients can expect:
Dr. Meyer provides ongoing follow-up to monitor healing, manage symptoms, and coordinate fertility care. He prioritizes open communication and patient education throughout the recovery process.
As with any surgery, adenomyomectomy carries potential risks, which may include:
Dr. Meyer conducts a comprehensive pre-surgical evaluation, including imaging, fertility assessment, and counseling to ensure every patient fully understands the benefits and risks of the procedure.
Dr. Meyer brings a unique blend of surgical excellence, compassion, and personalized care to every case. His approach is rooted in:
His mission is to offer each woman a tailored solution—backed by the latest research and guided by her individual goals. If you’re struggling with adenomyosis and want to explore your options for uterine or fertility preservation, Dr. Meyer is here to help. Adenomyomectomy can be life-changing when performed by a skilled surgeon who understands both the anatomy and the emotional stakes of this decision.
