Hysteroscopic Resection of Submucosal Fibroids in Israel - The Expert Approach of Professor Sergey Tunitsky

Hysteroscopic resection of a submucosal fibroid is a precise, organ-preserving surgical procedure designed to remove benign fibroid nodules located within the submucosal (inner) layer of the uterus.
Unlike traditional open surgery, this minimally invasive technique is performed through natural pathways, without any external incisions or visible scars, ensuring a gentle and tissue-conserving approach.

At the clinic of Professor Sergey Tunitsky, gynecologist and surgeon in Israel, hysteroscopic myomectomy is performed according to the highest international standards. This method combines high efficiency, minimal trauma, and preservation of the woman’s reproductive potential.

Indications for the Procedure

Hysteroscopic myomectomy is recommended for women whose submucosal fibroids cause symptoms that negatively impact their quality of life. The main indications include:

Heavy and prolonged menstrual bleeding leading to iron-deficiency anemia
Intermenstrual spotting or bleeding
Chronic pelvic pain or cramping
Infertility or recurrent miscarriage caused by uterine cavity deformation
Suspected growth of a fibroid nodule

The decision to proceed with hysteroscopic surgery is made personally by Professor Sergey Tunitsky after a comprehensive diagnostic evaluation, including ultrasound imaging, hysteroscopy, and hormonal assessment. This precise diagnostic process ensures accurate identification of the fibroid type and selection of the most effective treatment strategy.

How the Hysteroscopic Resection Procedure Is Performed

The hysteroscopic resection of submucosal fibroids involves several carefully controlled stages to ensure maximum safety and comfort for the patient:

Preparation: A thorough preoperative examination is carried out to determine the exact size and position of the fibroid and to rule out contraindications.
Anesthesia: The procedure is performed under mild intravenous anesthesia, providing full comfort and pain-free conditions.
Surgery: A hysteroscope – a thin optical instrument equipped with a miniature camera — is inserted through the vagina and cervix into the uterine cavity. Under direct visual control, Professor Tunitsky carefully removes the fibroid layer by layer while preserving healthy uterine tissue.
Completion: The removed tissue is sent for histological analysis. The average duration of the operation is about 20–40 minutes.

Questions and answers on the topic: Hysteroscopic Resection of Submucosal Fibroids in Israel

What is hysteroscopic resection of a submucous fibroid and what are its advantages?

Hysteroscopic resection of a submucous fibroid is a gentle, organ-preserving procedure performed without external incisions. Dr. Sergey Tunitsky performs the operation through the vagina using a hysteroscope — a thin optical instrument with a video camera. This technique allows precise removal of the fibroid from the uterine cavity, preserving reproductive function and preventing scarring. Key advantages include a quick recovery, minimal pain, and a high success rate in restoring fertility and eliminating abnormal uterine bleeding.

Why choose Dr. Sergey Tunitsky in Israel for submucous fibroid removal?

Dr. Sergey Tunitsky is a recognized expert in hysteroscopic surgery, specializing in complex cases of uterine fibroids. His approach combines exceptional surgical precision with scientific planning and an individual treatment strategy. This ensures safe fibroid removal without damage to healthy uterine tissue, which is especially important for women planning future pregnancies.

How does the preparation for hysteroscopic fibroid removal take place?

Preparation in Dr. Tunitsky’s clinic includes a comprehensive diagnostic evaluation: expert-level ultrasound, pelvic MRI if needed, blood tests, and hormonal assessment. Based on these results, Dr. Tunitsky develops a personalized surgical plan that determines the most effective and safest method for removing the fibroid depending on its size, type, and location.

What are the possible risks of hysteroscopy and how does Dr. Tunitsky minimize them?

Potential risks include uterine wall perforation, fluid overload, and intrauterine adhesions. In Dr. Tunitsky’s clinic, advanced irrigation systems with precise pressure control, atraumatic surgical tools, and gentle bipolar energy are used. These measures allow the operation to be performed with maximum safety and minimal risk of complications.

Is pregnancy possible after hysteroscopic resection of a submucous fibroid?

Yes, in most cases, this procedure significantly increases the chances of natural conception. Removing the fibroid restores the normal anatomy of the uterine cavity and improves endometrial health, enhancing embryo implantation potential. Dr. Tunitsky has helped many patients from Israel and abroad regain their fertility and avoid hysterectomy.

What complex cases of submucous fibroids does Dr. Tunitsky treat?

Dr. Tunitsky successfully operates on patients with fibroids of types G1 and G2, large fibroids up to 5–6 cm, multiple nodules, and recurrent fibroids after previous incomplete surgeries. His combined approach, which may include preoperative hormonal therapy and, when necessary, simultaneous laparoscopy, ensures high precision and safety in the most challenging cases.

How long does recovery take after hysteroscopic surgery?

Recovery after hysteroscopic surgery is very fast. Most patients can leave the clinic within a few hours or the next day. Mild discharge and slight cramping may occur for several days. Normal physical activity can usually be resumed after 2–3 days, with complete recovery achieved within two to three weeks, depending on the complexity of the procedure.

How does Dr. Tunitsky’s hysteroscopic technique differ from standard procedures?

The difference lies in his individualized and minimally invasive approach. Dr. Tunitsky often uses the “cold loop” technique to minimize thermal damage to the endometrium and prevent scarring. He carefully identifies the border between the fibroid and the uterine muscle, ensuring complete removal of the fibroid without leaving residual tissue, which eliminates the risk of recurrence.

How can an international patient arrange treatment for submucous fibroid removal in Israel?

The process is simple and patient-friendly. After an online consultation and review of medical records, Dr. Tunitsky evaluates the case and confirms the indication for surgery. The clinic’s international patient team assists with visa support, travel arrangements, accommodation, and transportation. A Russian-speaking coordinator accompanies the patient throughout all stages of diagnosis, treatment, and recovery during the stay in Israel.

Why is hysteroscopic resection considered the “gold standard” for treating submucous fibroids?

It is considered the gold standard because it allows complete fibroid removal while preserving the uterus and fertility. Hysteroscopic surgery performed by Dr. Tunitsky is characterized by exceptional precision, minimal trauma, and excellent reproductive outcomes. This method is widely recognized in Israel and internationally as the best option for women who wish to maintain their health and the ability to conceive naturally.
