I had my open myomectomy done at university college hospital london, gower street. I had a positive experience there. Just fyi i had multiple subsesorol and intranmural fibroids. You may have to travel if you want to have the surgery done quickly..

I had the op done by Dr Isaac Manyonda at St George's Hospital in Tooting. I chose him for the op after lots of research. He was highly recomended by other Gynaecologists.
If you are willing to travel that far I would highly recommend him. The only problem is the waiting list can be up to 4 months but I was prepared to wait rather than seek another gynaecologist who would only have offered me a hysterectomy

Glad to hear it went well for you.
I finally had my surgery last Wednesday - it was delayed again by doctors strike and meant I had another surgeon which I wasn't too happy about. When meeting with her on the morning she again was trying to say that it was stupid to have such a large procedure for a small fibroid as it was only 4 cm and I thought we would be going home again and starting the whole process again. This did not help my anxiety (I also suffer from depression brought about in part by my experiences over the past few years) but thanks to my husbands instance the procedure went ahead. During the surgery not only did she find the original fibroid but also another (not sure the size but I know it weighed almost a kilo) on the outside of my ueterus and she finally admitted that this was probably the cause of all my symptoms. The post op care also wasn't very good and I ended up back in hospital yesterday as the procedure has upset other stomach issues I have which were caused in part by the pain medication I have been on for the past 8 years. My GP has already called and I am going to see him later to discuss how the 2nd fibroid was missed for so long and the treatment I have received by the gynae department of both local hospitals and why they ignored the diagnosis from Glasgow.
