Clinical analysis of 37 patients with laparoscopic myomectomy on large intramural myoma / 重庆医学

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the feasibility and safety of laparoscopic myomectomy in patients with large-diameter hyste-romyoma .Methods A retrospective analysis of data from 37 patients in which the uterus were larger than 14-week gestational size and the diameter of myoma was ≥7 cm treated by laparoscopic myomectomy from January 2007 to December 2011 in our hospital was conducted .The outcome of the operation were compared with that in 53 large-diameter hysteromyoma cases by abdominal sur-gery .Results 37 patients were carried out laparoscopic surgery in which 28 cases were treated successfully by total laparoscopy , and small abdominal incision was made in 6 cases .3 of the cases converted to open surgery .The ureteral abdominal fistula was ob-served in 1 case ,which was cured by a reoperation of abdominal ureteral anastomosis .All patients were successfully cured and re-tained the uterus .The cases converted to open had no significant correlation with the patient′s age ,the fibroids size ,fibroids num-ber ,operative time and blood loss volume(P>0 .05) .Compared with the laparotomy group ,the operative time ,blood loss and post-operative morbidity were similar between groups (P>0 .05) .Postoperative recovery times after laparoscopic group were less than the control group(P0 .05) .Conclusion Laparoscopic myomectomy in pa-tients with large-diameter hysteromyoma is safe and feasible while excellent surgical skills were required for a successful surgery .
