Laparoscopic myomectomy has a low risk of adhesions, particularly involving the adnexa. A second-look laparoscopy is recommended for patients desiring pregnancy to assess adhesion risk post-myomectomy.

Area of Science:

  • Gynecology
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery
  • Reproductive Medicine

Background:

  • Adhesions can form after abdominal surgery, potentially impacting fertility.
  • Laparoscopic myomectomy is a common procedure for uterine fibroids.
  • Assessing adhesion formation is crucial for reproductive outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the incidence and risk factors of adhesions following laparoscopic myomectomy.
  • To determine the rate of adhesions at myomectomy sites and on adnexa.
  • To provide recommendations for managing adhesion risk in patients desiring pregnancy.

Main Methods:

  • Prospective data collection from 45 patients undergoing second-look laparoscopy after myomectomy.
  • Evaluation of 72 myomectomy sites and adnexal regions.

  • Analysis of factors influencing adhesion occurrence, including myoma location and surgical technique.

    • Main Results:

    • Overall postoperative adhesion rate was 35.6% per patient and 16.7% per myomectomy site.
    • Posterior myoma location and sutures were associated with increased adhesions at the myomectomy site.
    • Adnexal adhesions occurred in 24.4% of cases, influenced by concomitant procedures, prior adhesions, and myoma location.

    Conclusions:

    • Laparoscopic myomectomy is associated with a low rate of adhesion formation.
    • Adhesions rarely involve the adnexa, but risk factors exist.
    • Systematic second-look laparoscopy is recommended for patients desiring pregnancy after laparoscopic myomectomy.
