St. Petersburg Doctors Save Fertility in Rare Uterine Fibroid Surgery

Gynecologists in St. Petersburg have performed a rare operation to remove a large uterine fibroid while preserving a patient’s fertility. The procedure was carried out using advanced minimally invasive techniques at the N.I. Pirogov High Medical Technology Clinic. The case was later reported by the Bokal Press Telegram channel. The patient, a woman from Nizhny Novgorod Oblast, faced a difficult diagnosis. Instead of opting for a hysterectomy, the medical team chose a more complex approach to protect her ability to conceive. Lada Pokrovskaya, the leading obstetrician-gynecologist and surgeon, oversaw the surgery.

The clinic used cutting-edge methods to remove the giant tumour through small incisions. The entire procedure was covered under the federal high-tech medical care quota, meaning the patient incurred no cost. After the operation, doctors confirmed the woman retained full reproductive function. The success of the surgery demonstrates that fertility can be preserved even with severe uterine conditions. The patient now maintains her chance to become a mother. The clinic’s approach highlights the possibilities of modern medicine under state-supported healthcare programmes.
