Upon having my consultation With my surgeon for a tummy tuck he has discovered an abnormal bulge and has referred me to have an ultrasound. Radiologist has advised that I have a large fibroid tumour in 11.4 X9.4 cm. Haven't looked into this further I understand that my only treatment might be either laparoscopic or myomectomy method of removal of the same. Whilst I await an appointment with my gynaecologist, I was wondering would you be able to perform this procedure durning tummy tuck . Thanks
Answer: Can I have large fibroid removed during tummy tuck? Your two doctors (gynecologist, plastic surgeon) should be able to determine this for you. It may be a coordination nightmare even if the two of them operate at the same surgery center/hospital.

Answer: Fibroid The answer is that it depends. Often times your gynecologist and plastic surgeon can work together so that the fibroid is removed and then the tummy tuck can be performed. I encourage you to talk to your gynecologist about your desire to combine the surgery and make an appointment for a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon near you.

Answer: It depends... These days, if permissible, a fibroid tumor is usually removed laparoscopically. During laparoscopic surgery your tummy is filled with CO2 like a balloon, to allow for your gyn to perform the surgery. That "air" doesn't always go away immediately entirely after the completion of the laprascopic surgery such that proceeding with the tummy tuck might be a bit more challenging. Alternatively, if the fibroid is large enough to warrant an open procedure (non-laparoscopic) this can indeed possibly be performed simultaneously with your tummy tuck surgery.
