Most doctor do not think a myomectomy is necessary with a small fibroid on the outside of the uterus, and 3 cm is considered small. However, occasionally removal of a small fibroid that is in the inside lining of the uterus may help you get pregnant.
A recent study comparing the fertility of women who had uterine artery embolizations with those who had a myomectomy showed similar number of successful pregnancies for both groups. The long-term effect of uterine artery embolization on the ability of a woman to have children has not been fully determined.
If the fibroid is perfectly rectangular, then the area of one of its surfaces is 50.76 cm. That is large for a uterine fibroid.
A myomectomy can remove uterine fibroids that are causing symptoms. It is an alternative to surgical removal of the whole uterus (hysterectomy ).

A laparotomy is a surgical method which uses a larger incision into the abdominal wall, usually performed under general or regional anesthesia, often on an exploratory basis. A myomectomy is the removal of fibroids through an incision in the abdomen. So therefore, a laparotomy myomectomy is the removal of uterine fibroids through a larger vertical or horizontal incision in the abdomen, which allows the uterus to be left in place.
