A 42-year-old woman had been experiencing abdominal pain for a year and noticed a significant increase in her abdominal size. Concerned about her symptoms, she sought care at Erebuni Medical Center. Following a thorough examination, doctors diagnosed her with a large uterine fibroid, comparable in size to that of a full-term pregnancy (40 weeks).
The surgical team, led by Andranik Poghosyan, Director of the Maternity Hospital, along with obstetrician-gynecologist Lilit Megryan and head of the Anesthesiology and Resuscitation Department Lusine Danielyan, performed the operation. They successfully removed a fibroid weighing 10 kilograms through a longitudinal laparotomy, which also involved the removal of the uterus and fallopian tubes.
Fibroids of this size are rare and typically diagnosed in women of reproductive age. Surgical intervention for such large fibroids necessitates exceptional professional skills, advanced clinical capabilities, and appropriate technical resources, as they carry significant risks. The likelihood of bleeding during the procedure is particularly high. However, due to the expertise of Andranik Poghosyan, the seamless collaboration among the medical team, and the effective management at Erebuni Medical Center, the surgery was carried out successfully.
