Hysterography before and after myomectomy

Pre- and postmyomectomy hysterograms were compared in 12 consecutive cases. In 11 cases, the uterine cavity was of normal shape and size after surgery, irrespective of the degree of preoperative uterine distortion. In two cases fallopian tubes were not visualized before surgery but were found patent after removal of the fibroids. In all cases studied, preoperative hysterography was valuable in confirming the presence and localization of myomata but of limited value in predicting the feasibility of the procedure.
