A laparotomy is a surgical method which uses a larger incision into the abdominal wall, usually performed under general or regional anesthesia, often on an exploratory basis. A myomectomy is the removal of fibroids through an incision in the abdomen. So therefore, a laparotomy myomectomy is the removal of uterine fibroids through a larger vertical or horizontal incision in the abdomen, which allows the uterus to be left in place.
