Fibroids are benign (not cancerous) growths of the muscular layer of the uterus. They are very common in women of reproductive age. They can be as small as a marble or may grow to be very large, similar to the size of a softball.
This is a clinical pathway formulated by your care team. This care team includes your surgeon and your anesthesiologist. An anesthesiologist is the doctor who monitors your breathing and keeps you asleep, comfortable and monitors your vital signs in the operating room. Our goal is to keep you safe, for your pain optimally controlled, and to help you return home quickly after surgery. This pathway works before, during, and after your surgery.
