Clinical study of hysteroscopical electroresection of FIGO type 3 myoma / 中华妇产科杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective:To analyze the clinical application and to evaluate the efficiency of hysteroscopical electroresection of International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) type 3 myoma.Methods:The clinical data of patients who underwent hysteroscopical electroresection single FIGO type 3 myoma in Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital of Fudan University from January 2019 to October 2021 were collected retrospectively. The clinical symptoms, myoma size, location, operation time, intraoperative bleeding, surgical complications and postoperative follow-up were recorded, and the subsequent pregnancy outcomes were followed-up.Results:Totally 35 patients with FIGO type 3 myoma were included in this study. The average age was (36.6±4.7) years old, the diameter of myoma was (4.0±1.2) cm (range 2.0-5.8 cm). The rate of complete resection of myoma in one operation was 86% (30/35), the average operation time was (41±15) minutes (range 20-65 minutes), and the average intraoperative bleeding was (24±18) ml (range 5-150 ml). No complications such as uterine perforation, massive hemorrhage, hyperhyderation syndrome and infection occurred in all patients perioperation. There were 20 cases with significant increase of menstruation before operation, the cure rate and effective rate of hysteroscopical electroresection of FIGO type 3 myoma were 75% (15/20) and 95% (19/20). There were 24 patients with fertility requirements, their average follow-up time was (14.5±6.8) months, the pregnancy rate within 1 year after operation was 79% (19/24), and the average postoperative pregnancy time was (5.8±3.4) months. There were 15 cases who had completed delivery after operation, including 10 cases of vaginal delivery and 5 cases of cesarean section, and none of them had uterine rupture.Conclusions:Hysteroscopy could effectively resect FIGO type 3 myoma. Hysteroscopical electroresection of FIGO type 3 myoma is minimally invasive with rapid postoperative recovery and could achieve pregnancy in a short time, which is not only helpful to reduce the amount of menstruation, but also beneficial for the prognosis of fertility. It should be carried out by the experienced hysteroscopists.
