Objective:
To determine the impact of uterine artery ligation in laparoscopic myomectomy, according to surgical results and clinical outcomes.
Design:
Single-center, nonrandomized, comparative study.
Setting:
University hospital, tertiary referral center.
Patient(S):
Ninety women undergoing laparoscopic myomectomy.
Intervention(S):
Laparoscopic myomectomy with or without uterine artery ligation.
Main Outcome Measure(S):
Surgical results and clinical outcomes.
Result(S):
Fifty-one patients (56.6%) underwent laparoscopic myomectomy with uterine artery ligation (group A), and 39 patients (43.3%) underwent laparoscopic myomectomy alone (group B). The mean operating time was 100.0 ± 33.8 minutes in group A and 90.0 ± 37.1 minutes in group B. Both groups were similar with respect to mean blood loss (72.3 ± 109.0 mL vs. 62.6 ± 77.3 mL). The myoma recurrence rate in group A was significantly less than in group B after a median follow-up period of 11.1 months (2% vs. 13%).
Conclusion(S):
Both groups were similar with respect to surgical results. However, the recurrence rate was significantly lower in group A compared with group B.
