Description
Fibroids are common growths in the womb, but ones growing inside the neck of the womb are rare and hard to remove. Yousef Alebrahim and co-authors report a case in this 2024 paper in which a large fibroid of this kind was taken out through the vagina instead of through the belly.
The patient was a 43-year-old woman seeking fertility treatment. Growths that hang into the vagina are often removed that way, but growths buried in the wall usually need keyhole or open surgery. The team describes how the vaginal route worked here and argues it can speed recovery in well-chosen cases.
