A myomectomy typically takes between 1 to 3 hours, depending on the size, number, and location of the fibroids being removed, as well as the surgical technique used (open surgery or laparoscopic). The procedure may also take longer if there are complications or if the patient has other underlying conditions. Post-operative recovery time varies, but patients often stay in the hospital for 1 to 2 days for monitoring.

The root word of myomectomy is myoma. A myomectomy is the surgical removal of a myoma, or the excision of a fibroid tumor from the uterus.
Myomectomy alone wouldn't change the likelihood of conceiving twins.

A myomectomy can remove uterine fibroids that are causing symptoms. It is an alternative to surgical removal of the whole uterus (hysterectomy ).
The risks of a myomectomy performed by a skilled surgeon are about the same as hysterectomy (one of the most common and safest surgeries).
