ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVES:
To examine the outcome after operative resectoscopic resection of submucosal myomas in symptomatic women.METHODS:
Forty eight symptomatic women with submucosal myomas underwent operative resectoscopy for resection of the submucosal myomas. A few months after the myomectomy, I compared postoperaive status of the patients to preoperative status of the patients.RESULTS:
No operative or postoperative complications occurred and all patients were discharged within 4 days. The follow-up period was 11.12+/-6.44 months(mean+/-SD). The age of the patients was 37.69+/-9.22 years(mean+/-SD) at the time of the operation. Twelve women out of 16 conceived(pregnancy rate of 75%)and all of them subsequently delivered at term. Thirty two women(menorrhagia of 28 and backache of 4) had been rid of their chief complaints that they had suffered from preoperatively.CONCLUSION:
The results of this study indicate that operative resectoscopy achieved a pregnancy rate 75%. These results suggest that operative resectoscopy is an effective procedure to resect submucosal myomas in infertile symptomatic women.
