ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE: To report a safe and minimal bleeding procedure of abdominal myomectomy and to assess perioperative morbidity associated with this procedure. METHODS: From January 1998 to April 2000, We Studies 33 gynecologic patients undergoing abdominal myomectomy at department of obstetrics and gynecology, Choon-Hae Hospital, retrospectively. Particular attention was given to intraoperative estimated blood loss, blood transfusion requirement and the febrile morbidity rate. RESULTS: Myomectomy was performed successfully in all patients for whom it was scheduled. Mean intraoperative estimated blood loss was 211.5+/-91.3 mL. Four cases (12%) had an estimated blood loss greater than 400 mL. Preoperative, intraoperative or postoperative transfusion occurred in 6 cases (18%). There were no other intraoperative complications. Febrile morbidity occurred in 6 (18%) cases. Two cases (6%) experienced wound infection. CONCLUSION: We conclude that this procedure is safe and appropriate alternative for most women who want to preserve or enhance fertility potential.

OBJECTIVE: to evaluate the incidence of complications of hysteroscopic surgery. METHODS: A total of 150 patients who was done by hysteroscopic surgery from February 1997 to February 2000 were retrospectively analyzed at Choon Hae Hospital, Pusan, Korea. We classified complications into 6 groups - infection, surgeon-related complication, distension-media related complication, energy source related complication, hemorrhage and others. RESULTS: Overall complication rates were 6% (9 to 150). Surgeon-related complication rate was 1.3% (2 of 150), media-related complication rate was 0.7% (1 of 150), hemorrhage was 4% (6 of 150). And there's no complications of infection, energy-source related, or others. CONCLUSION: Hysteroscopy is a safe procedure if you know the complications of hysteroscopy & its mechanisms.
