myomectomy

This term is a specialized medical descriptor used primarily in gynecological and surgical contexts. It carries a neutral, clinical tone and is used to specify the removal of fibroids without the total removal of the uterus, distinguishing it from a hysterectomy.

Because it describes a specific surgical event, it is typically used in medical reports, patient charts, or professional consultations. In a patient-facing context, a physician might use the term while explaining the preservation of fertility, as the procedure is specifically designed to keep the uterine wall intact.
