Laparoscopic myomectomy, a surgical procedure to remove uterine fibroids, demonstrated a low complication rate and advantages over traditional open surgery in 102 patients. This minimally invasive approach offers a safe and effective alternative for fibroid removal.

Area of Science:

  • Gynecology
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery
  • Reproductive Medicine

Background:

  • Uterine fibroids (myomas) are common benign tumors that can cause significant symptoms.
  • Traditional open myomectomy (laparotomy) is associated with longer recovery times and potential complications.
  • Laparoscopic myomectomy offers a less invasive surgical option.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the safety and efficacy of a specific laparoscopic myomectomy technique.
  • To compare the outcomes of laparoscopic myomectomy with traditional laparotomy.

Main Methods:

  • A precise laparoscopic technique using a monopolar hook for uterine incision and intraperitoneal sutures was employed in 102 patients.
  • Myomas were removed via suprapubic puncture after fragmentation or through colpotomy.

  • Conversion to laparotomy was required in 2 cases.

    • Main Results:

    • No intraoperative complications were observed in the 102 patients.
    • Postoperative adhesions were noted in 3 cases.
    • Laparoscopic myomectomy showed advantages over laparotomy with a low risk of complications in selected cases.

    Conclusions:

    • Operative laparoscopy is a safe and effective method for myomectomy.
    • This minimally invasive approach offers significant advantages compared to laparotomy.
    • Careful patient selection is important for successful laparoscopic myomectomy outcomes.
