Summary

Organ-sparing surgery for uterine myomas, including pelviscopy with the Serrated Edged Macro Morcellator (S.E.M.M.), achieved high success rates. Patients must be informed of potential uterine rupture risks, especially those desiring future pregnancies.

Area of Science:

  • Gynecologic Surgery
  • Minimally Invasive Procedures
  • Uterine Myoma Management

Context:

  • Uterine myomas are common benign tumors affecting women of reproductive age.
  • Traditional myomectomy can be invasive, leading to longer recovery times.
  • Organ-sparing approaches aim to preserve uterine function and fertility.

Purpose:

  • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of organ-sparing myomectomy, particularly pelviscopy, for uterine myomas.
  • To assess the performance of the Serrated Edged Macro Morcellator (S.E.M.M.) in myomectomy procedures.
  • To identify potential complications and long-term risks associated with pelviscopic myomectomy.

Summary:

  • Organ-sparing surgery was performed on 215 patients with uterine myomas (>2 cm diameter), successfully conserving the uterus in 90% of cases.

  • Pelviscopy with the S.E.M.M. was successful in 89% of 131 cases, enabling morcellation of large myomas (average 5.2 cm) via a 15 mm trocar.
  • Complications included secondary laparotomy in 14 patients, one case of intestinal adhesion, and a rare late complication of uterine rupture during pregnancy.

    • Impact:

    • Pelviscopic myomectomy offers a viable organ-sparing option for uterine myomas, with the S.E.M.M. facilitating efficient removal of large fibroids.
    • Highlights the critical need for patient counseling regarding the risk of uterine rupture in women desiring future pregnancies.
    • Contributes to the understanding of minimally invasive techniques in gynecologic surgery and patient outcomes.
