LAAM is a safer and more effective minimally invasive fibroid removal surgery that can be performed on any patient regardless of fibroid size, number, or location. The LAAM procedure eliminates limitations of laparoscopic and robotic procedures. The minimally invasive approach uses only 2 small incisions, affording patients a far more effective outcome, with the fastest possible recovery.

3. Rashetta’s Story
Rashetta struggled with pain from large fibroids. She chose to have LAAM
myomectomy at CIGC and was inspired to get involved in patient education. Her journey
brought The White Dress Project to Washington DC and she now heads the DC chapter,
raising awareness of fibroids and minimally invasive fibroid surgery.
“For years I saw the same doctor, waiting and watching
my fibroids grow, and for a while, the pain wasn’t altering
my daily activities. But then, the pain got progressively
worse. I found myself in bed, crying in pain.”
“I was hesitant to change, because my doctor knew my
history, but I figured it couldn’t have hurt to have a
conversation with Dr. MacKoul. I realized in talking to him
that I shouldn’t have done the watch and wait approach.”
“I planned to be off for 2 weeks, and I can work from
home, so while I stayed home for 3 weeks, I was back
working after 2.”

4. Celeste’s Story
Celeste was dealing with rapidly growing fibroids, threatening her ability to get
pregnant. Three doctors had told her she could only have open surgery and may require
hysterectomy. She found out about CIGC from a radio ad and chose to see us. Celeste
opted for minimally invasive fibroid removal through LAAM.
“I was elated to discover a
hybrid surgical option to remove
my fibroids that was minimally
invasive, required only a small
incision during outpatient
surgery, and an estimated two
weeks of recovery time. This
seemed like a miracle!“
“I am fibroid free and kept my
uterus. While I am not pregnant
yet, Dr. Danilyants made our
dream of having a baby a real
possibility.”
