Summary

Hysteroscopic resection effectively treated large symptomatic intrauterine fibroids. Success rates varied by fibroid type, with pedunculated myomas showing 100% success, while intramural fibroids had lower success and higher complication risks.

Area of Science:

  • Gynecology
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery

Background:

  • Intrauterine fibroids are common benign tumors.
  • Large symptomatic fibroids pose treatment challenges.
  • Hysteroscopic resection is a minimally invasive option.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy and outcomes of hysteroscopic resection for large symptomatic intrauterine fibroids.
  • To compare outcomes based on fibroid characteristics: pedunculated, intramural <50% extension, and intramural >50% extension.

Main Methods:

  • Twenty-five patients underwent hysteroscopic resection.
  • Patients were grouped by fibroid type: G0 (pedunculated), G1 (intramural <50%), G2 (intramural >50%).
  • Data collected included patient age, operating time, fluid volume, and follow-up outcomes.

Main Results:

  • Group G0 (7 patients): 100% success rate, mean age 48, mean operative time 27 min, mean fluid 4400 ml.
  • Group G1 (9 patients): 44% success rate, mean age 43.5, mean operative time 62 min, mean fluid 7150 ml. Two malignancies diagnosed.
  • Complications included malignancy diagnosis and need for repeat procedures.

Conclusions:

  • Hysteroscopic resection is highly effective for pedunculated fibroids.
  • Outcomes are less favorable for intramural fibroids, with increased risks.
  • Careful patient selection and evaluation are crucial for managing large fibroids.
