I'm not sure about having 3 of them, but my sister had this procedure done to remove several fibroids (one was the size of a small basketball...which they likened to her being about 22 weeks pregnant LOL) She has been told by her OB/GYN that she has as good a chance of getting pregnant as any other woman. I would think that as long as everything is left in tact it shouldn't be a big problem.

Laparoscopic Myomectomy
CPT code: 58551
A laparoscopic myomectomy is safe for smaller fibroids (less than 8cm) on the outside of the uterus. A tiny incision is made in the abdomen for the insertion of a laparoscope, a thin instrument containing a telescope. Through the laparscope, the surgeon views the uterus and surrounding organs and removes the fibroids with instruments that cut and pull the tissue out through thin tubes. This procedure is not recommended for women who are still considering pregnancy, as cuts into the uterine wall weaken it and closure is suboptimal. Therefore, uterine rupture during the next pregnancy is possible. Preoperative treatment with luprow can alter the consistency of the fibroid and make it more difficult to pull out. Recovery time is generally one week.

Hysteroscopic Myomectomy
CPT code: 58561
The Hysteroscopic myomectomy, which was further developed by Dr. Bartsich at the New York hospital, is used for fibroids inside the uterus. It is highly effective in treating fibroids that cause heavy bleeding. Such fibroids may also be the cause of infertility and miscarriages. These fibroids do not respond to hormonal treatment.

The hysteroscope, a small instrument similar to a laparoscope, is inserted through the vagina and cervix into the uterine cavity. A special instrument, called a resectoscope, is used to remove the fibroids after they are resected. Bleeding is rarely a problem and can usually be controlled with the resectoscope. There is a risk of perforation or infection as with any surgery on the uterus. There is no abdominal scar, because there is no incision. It is an outpatient procedure with a recovery period of only 24 hours. This prodcedure can be used for larger fibroids which could not fit through a laparoscopic incision.
