ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the effect of laparoscopic myomectomy. Methods Clinical data of 62 cases of laparoscopic myomectomy were analyzed retrospectively. Results Success was achieved in all the operations.Of the 62 cases,intramural myoma was confirmed in 45 cases,and subserous myoma,17 cases (non-pedicled,10 cases; pedicled,7 cases).A total of 101 myomas were removed,with a diameter of 1～9 cm (mean,6 8 cm).The mean operative time was 25～270 min (mean,99 min),and the intraoperative blood loss,10～400 ml (mean,63 ml).The postoperative hospital stay was 2～8 days (mean,4 7 days) and the overall complication rate was 25 8% (16/62).Follow-up observation in 42 cases for 2～36 months (mean,9 months) found recurrence in 2 cases and full-term pregnancy in 2 out of 10 cases with infertility. Conclusions Laparoscopic myomectomy has advantages of safety,quick recovery,short hospital stay and fewer complications.
