Myectomy

Myectomy is a surgical procedure performed to remove connective tissue growths from specific areas of the body, including the head, neck, arms and legs. It is one of the methods for treating epileptic seizures, cysts, brain tumors and other diseases that cause difficulties in the patient's life.

A myectomy involves removing the tumor or parts of it using a thin instrument called a myextractor. The microextractor has a thin thread or wire that is inserted through a small incision in the patient's skin, after which the wire is passed through the affected area and directly to the tumor or growth that is to be removed. The tumor is then carefully removed using a myectrator, with the instruments equipped with lighting and remote control so that the surgeon can see his work and control the process.

An important aspect of myectomy is the safety of the procedure. Doctors closely monitor the tumor removal process, often using a microscope or other devices that allow them to visually monitor the operation. The instruments used during surgery also undergo strict quality control and sterilization to prevent possible infections or complications after the procedure.

The risk of myectomy depends on the type of tumor and its size. Risks may include: scarring, bleeding, infection, long-term effects and the overall health of the patient. In addition, the procedure can be used to diagnose the disease, by identifying the body's unusual response to a tumor during the surgical process.

Despite the risks, sometimes myectomy is the only way to eliminate the tumor. Thanks to the development of diagnostic methods, doctors can choose the right myectomy method for each specific case. Various techniques and devices can also be used to reduce the risk of injury or complications during the procedure. For example, some leave the guidewire in place for at least six months after surgery, allowing the patient to be monitored daily for recurrence of the disease.

Another type of myectomy is endoscopic myectomy. This approach uses endoscopic equipment with thin tubes, instruments and light to facilitate access to tumors in different parts of the body. Endoscopy
