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

Good books in, bad books banned
A myomectomy can remove uterine fibroids that are causing such symptoms as abnormal bleeding or pain. It is an alternative to surgical removal of the whole uterus (hysterectomy ).
Good books is often a matter of personal opinion, however you could look at some lists of award winning books from 1998.
