Clinical Analysis of Hysteroscopic Resection for Submucosal Myoma of Uterus with Dipolar Electrodes: A Report of 300 cases / 中国微创外科杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To evaluate advantages and safety of bipolar electrodes for the treatment of submucosal myoma of uterus.Methods Three hundred patients with submucous myoma of uterus were performed with bipolar electrodes under hysteroscope,including 212 cases of type 0 submucous myoma,54 cases of type ?,and 34 cases of type Ⅱ.Results Total volumes of uterine distention fluid used during operation were 500-2000 ml(mean,626 ml);operation time was 20-50 min(mean,25 min);intraoperative blood loss was 10-20 ml.Cardio-cerebral syndrome occurred in one case and was relieved by timely treatment.There was no operation discontinuation as a consequence of pain.The diameters of resected myomas were 3-5 cm,with an average of 3.8 cm.The postoperative diagnosis showed leiomyosarcoma in 1 case and was performed by radical hysterectomy resection combined with a pelvic lymphadenectomy at 10 day postoperatively.During the follow-up period of 1-24 months in 277 cases,40 cases(type I in 12 cases;type II in 28 cases) needed hysteroscope operation again.Conclusions Hysteroscopic resection for submucosal myoma of uterus with dipolar electrodes has advantages of safety,minimal invasion,quicker recovery,higher efficiency,so it is worthy of being recommended.
