Scarring is generally expected after uterine fibroid removal. Procedures for removing uterine fibroids include both open abdominal surgery and laparoscopic surgery; laparoscopic surgery typically results in smaller scars, whereas open abdominal surgery leaves larger scars. When undergoing uterine fibroid removal surgery, it is recommended to seek treatment at a reputable medical institution under the care of an experienced physician.
