This study introduces a new laparoscopic technique for removing cervical myomas in women with hypermenorrhea. The minimally invasive procedure demonstrated safety and effectiveness in a small patient group.

Area of Science:

  • Gynecology
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery
  • Surgical Innovation

Background:

  • Hypermenorrhea is often caused by uterine fibroids (myomas).
  • Traditional myomectomy can involve significant invasiveness and blood loss.
  • Cervical myomas present unique surgical challenges.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe a novel laparoscopic approach for cervical myoma enucleation.
  • To evaluate the safety and efficacy of this minimally invasive technique.

Main Methods:

  • Laparoscopic myomectomy utilizing a novel postcervical medial incision for enucleation.
  • Intracorporeal suturing in two layers for wound closure.
  • Uterine artery clipping and vasopressin injection to minimize intraoperative bleeding.

Main Results:

  • Successful laparoscopic enucleation of cervical myomas in five patients.
  • The procedure was completed with minimal blood loss.
  • No major complications were reported during or after the surgery.

Conclusions:

  • This new laparoscopic method for cervical myomectomy is minimally invasive.
  • The technique appears safe and effective for treating hypermenorrhea caused by cervical myomas.
