ABSTRACT

Objective To inquire clinical effects of hysteroscopic electroresection in the treatment of submucous hysteromyoma. Methods A retrospective analysis regarding curative effects of hysteroscopic electroresection in 72 cases of submucous hysteromyoma was carried out. Results The resected myoma was 1.5~7 cm in diameter, and the number of resected myoma was 1~3. The operation time was 10~90 min (mean, 30 min). The operation was accomplished on one session in all the 72 cases. No uterine perforation, bleeding and bowel injuries took place. Postoperative follow-up for 4~20 months in the 72 cases reported a satisfaction rate of 97 2% (70/72). Out of 6 patients who had pregnancy desire, 2 were pregnant with child and 1 of them had a delivery. Conclusions Hysteroscopic electroresection in the treatment of submucous hysteromyoma is safe and effective. It can markedly improve the menstruation and elevate the pregnancy rate.
