What should I expect after having a myomectomy?

The length of time you may spend in the hospital varies.

• Hysteroscopy is an outpatient procedure.
• Laparoscopy may be an outpatient procedure or may require a stay of 1 day.
• Laparotomy requires an average stay of 1 to 4 days.

Recovery time depends on the method used for the myomectomy:

• Hysteroscopy requires from a few days to 2 weeks to recover.
• Laparoscopy requires 1 to 2 weeks.
• Laparotomy requires 4 to 6 weeks.
