Bao YM, Ma WW, Li S, Jiang L, Yang MJ, Chen JY. The safety and efficacy of myomectomy in the treatment of recurrent uterine fibroids after HIFU. Int J Gynaecol Obstet 2024. [PMID: 38935313 DOI: 10.1002/ijgo.15757] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/31/2024] [Revised: 06/05/2024] [Accepted: 06/17/2024] [Indexed: 06/28/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the safety and efficacy of myomectomy for recurrent uterine fibroids (UFs) after high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) ablation. METHODS This was a retrospective study. Patients who underwent abdominal myomectomy (AM) and laparoscopic myomectomy (LM) from January 2018 to December 2021 at the Three Gorges Hospital of Chongqing University were included. Among them, 73 had undergone prior HIFU ablation (Group 1), while 120 had not undergone HIFU (Group 2). Outcome measures included operating time, estimated blood loss (EBL), blood transfusion, postoperative activity times (PAT), duration of hospital stay (DOHS), and complications. RESULTS The operating time was 90.0 min (70.5, 115.0) for Group 1 and 110.0 min (81.5, 130.0) for Group 2 (P < 0.05). During all AM pathways, there were no significant differences observed between the two groups in EBL, blood transfusion, PAT, DOHS, and complications; however, operating time was shorter in Group 1. The operating time, EBL, blood transfusion, PAT, DOHS, and complications were similar in both groups during LM pathway. During the follow-up 40 (range: 24-53) months, the rate of relief, recurrence, and reintervention in Groups 1 and 2 was 78.1% versus 74.1%, 14.6% versus 16.4%, and 3.7% versus 2.6%, respectively (P > 0.05). CONCLUSION Myomectomy is a safe and effective surgical method for treating recurrent UFs after HIFU. Myomectomy for treating recurrent UFs resulted in a shorter operative and hospital stay, reduced blood loss, faster postoperative recovery, and fewer complications, better symptom relief rates, and lower risk of recurrence or reintervention. These findings indicate that previous HIFU ablation does not worsen the outcomes of the subsequent myomectomy.

Abstract
ABSTRACT Spinal and extrapelvic lesions causing sciatic symptoms are well recognized in clinical research and practice. 1-5 We present a 35-yr-old woman with a history of axial back pain and fibromyalgia who presented with episodes of radicular type pain down her legs and associated bilateral tingling in her feet. Medicinal and therapeutic interventions for traditional sciatica etiologies failed to provide relief. Lumbar magnetic resonance imaging showed mild multilevel degenerative changes and partially visualized fibroids, but no other significant spinal pathology was appreciated. Subsequent pelvic magnetic resonance imaging revealed an enlarged retroverted uterus with multiple fibroid lesions. The patient elected for laparoscopic myomectomy, which improved her likelihood of fertility while drastically alleviating her axial spine and lower extremity symptomology. This case reinforces the importance of keeping a broad differential that includes intrapelvic etiologies when traditional workup and treatment for sciatic neuropathy fails. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of sciatic neuropathy secondary to uterine fibroids treated with the intent of both fertility improvement and pain relief.

Use of a microsurgical vascular clip system for temporary bilateral occlusion of the four main uterine vessels for laparoscopic enucleation of very large intramural uterine fibroids. Arch Gynecol Obstet 2022; 306:1597-1605. [PMID: 35882651 PMCID: PMC9519638 DOI: 10.1007/s00404-022-06675-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/06/2022] [Accepted: 06/14/2022] [Indexed: 11/18/2022]
Abstract
Objectives The goal of this study was to examine the safety, feasibility, and effectiveness of the use of a microsurgical temporary vascular clip system to facilitate the laparoscopic enucleation of very large intramural uterine fibroids. Methods In this retrospective study, the surgical outcomes of 26 patients who underwent laparoscopic myomectomy with temporary uterine vessel clipping for very large (the largest measured diameter ≥ 9 cm) symptomatic intramural uterine fibroids in two tertiary referral hospitals between September 2017 and March 2020 were examined. Titan-made vascular clips (YASARGIL® Aneurysm Clip System) were used to temporarily occlude the bilateral uterine arteries and utero-ovarian vessels. Main outcomes included operating time, blood loss, number of leiomyomas and weight, conversion rate, intra- and postoperative complication rates, and length of hospital stay. Results Twenty six patients were included. Dominant intramural uterine fibroid diameters were 9–22 cm. The general characteristics of the patients were similar. The mean surgery duration and intraoperative blood loss were 175.3 ± 32.7 (range 120–250) min and 241.1 ± 103 (range 100–450) ml, respectively. The median postoperative drop in hemoglobin was 0.89 ± 0.75 g/dL. No patient required blood transfusion. No procedure was converted to laparotomy. No major intra- or postoperative complication occurred. Conclusions Laparoscopic myomectomy for very large intramural uterine fibroids can be performed safely and effectively, with less intraoperative blood loss, using vascular clips for temporary clamping of the bilateral uterine vessels.

Abstract
This report describes a simple technique using conventional instrumentation for the placement of Seprafilm, a sodium hyaluronate or carboxymethylcellulose absorbable barrier for adhesion prevention. A total of 378 women with uterine myomas undergoing laparoscopic myomectomies had 737 Seprafilm pieces placed. Seprafilm sheet was softened through exposure to room air for 5 minutes, cut into 4 pieces (length, 5-10 mm), rolled up alongside a plastic sheet cut from a camera drape cover, and gently placed at the right paracolic gutter. The Seprafilm pieces unfolded semiautomatically on release and were then placed on the uterus. The median time to apply per Seprafilm piece was 1 (range: 0.8-3.5) minute. We failed to place 16 pieces (16 of 737, 2.2%) in 11 patients. Virginal status, myoma weight, and the number of removed myomas were the risk factors of failed placement. Our technique for Seprafilm placement during laparoscopic myomectomy is simple and safe.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to compare the safety and efficacy of an electrothermal bipolar vessel sealing device (LigaSure™) and traditional electrical cauterization in laparoscopic myomectomy (LM). A total of 756 patients with symptomatic uterine myomas who underwent LM were reviewed retrospectively. A total of 225 cases of LM using LigaSure™ (LML group) were compared with a control group treated with traditional electrical cauterization (LME group) under propensity-matched analysis. Outcome measures for both groups were compared, such as operative time, blood loss (BL), complications, need for blood transfusion, hospital expenses, and hospital stay. Six subgroups were divided according to main myoma size and energy source. No cases required switching to abdominal myomectomy. The number of myomas removed, BL, need for blood transfusion, and complications were not significantly different, whereas hospital stay was longer in the LME group than in the LML group and total hospital expenses were higher in the LML group (p < 0.001). The overall operation duration was significantly longer in the LML group but was not significantly different for main myoma >10 cm (LML vs LME, 121.58 ± 41.77 vs 121.69 ± 44.95, p = 0.99); this likely reflects the operative efficiency on using LigaSure™ to manage large tumors. Significant linear correlations between myoma weight and operative time and BL were seen in both groups. Conventional diathermy is more effective for small-to-medium myomas. Use of the LigaSure™ was efficient for myomas >10 cm.

Analysis of the effect of laparoscopy and hysteroscopy on ovarian function, immune function and quality of sexual life of patients with hysteromyoma at different ages. Oncol Lett 2018; 15:2929-2934. [PMID: 29435020 PMCID: PMC5778788 DOI: 10.3892/ol.2017.7631] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/18/2017] [Accepted: 12/11/2017] [Indexed: 12/26/2022] Open
Abstract
This study aims to comparatively analyze the impact of laparoscopic myomectomy (LM) and transcervical resection of myoma (TCRM) on ovarian function, immune function and quality of sexual life of patients with hysteromyoma. Two hundred and forty patients with hysteromyoma admitted into the Second Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from June 2014 to June 2016 were divided into laparoscopic myomectomy group (LM group, n=120) and transcervical resection of myoma group (TCRM group, n=120) according to random figure table. The difference between the two surgical methods were compared among hysteromyoma patients of different age in the following aspects: perioperative indicators, ovarian function, immune function and quality of sexual life before treatment and after operation. 1) there was no significant difference in age structure between LM and TCRM group (P>0.05). 2) There were no significant differences in the amount of bleeding, operative time, analgesics usage rate between the groups (P>0.05), but the anal exhaust time, postoperative ambulation time, hospitalization time and hospitalization costs in TCRM group were significantly less than that in LM group, the difference was statistically significant (P<0.01). 3) Before treatment and in the 3rd, and 6th month after operation, there was no significant difference on follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH) or estradiol (E2) level between the two groups (P>0.05); but in the 3rd month after operation, the level of E2 decreased remarkably, with FSH and LH level increased significantly compared with the 6th month after operation and before treatment (P<0.05). 4) Compared with the preoperative status, there was no significant decrease in humoral immunity (IgG, IgA, IgM) and cellular immune function (CD4+, CD8+) in TCRM group at the 3rd and 6th month after operation (P>0.05). While at the 3rd month after operation, the levels of CD4+, CD8+ were decreased significantly in comparison to those at the 6th month after operation (P<0.05), but the levels of IgG, IgA and IgM were not decreased significantly (P>0.05). 5) There was no significant difference in the quality of sexual life between the two groups before operation or at the 3rd and 6th month after operation (P>0.05). In recent years, endoscopic treatment has become the main treatment evolution of hysteromyoma, patients of all ages are paying attention to the preservation of the uterus. This study showed that TCRM is approaching through the natural cavity, which has the features of less damage to body, faster recovery and lower cost of hospitalization than LM. The two surgical methods have no obvious influence on ovarian function, immune function and quality of sexual life.

Abstract
Laparoscopic myomectomy is a minimally invasive surgical approach to treat symptomatic uterine fibroids in women wishing for a uterine-sparing procedure. With careful patient selection, these procedures are associated with favorable reproductive outcomes and low perioperative morbidity. Current available methods for specimen retrieval include power and hand morcellation. The 2014 FDA safety warnings regarding power morcellation arose from concerns about the spread of occult malignancy and prompted widespread use of containment systems that may limit spread of myometrial cells. Investigation into the clinical effects of laparoscopic myomectomy and uncontained morcellation on the prognosis and spread of occult leiomyosarcoma has yielded mixed results. Other complications of uncontained power morcellation exist, including the development of parasitic leiomyomas. The FDA safety warnings have greatly influenced trends in benign gynecologic surgery, and survey data reflect trends in providers' opinions of these trends. In conclusion, recommendations for the current practice of laparoscopic myomectomy and morcellation are reviewed.

Abstract
STUDY OBJECTIVE To compare the surgical technique of temporary bilateral uterine artery blockage with titanium clips in laparoscopic myomectomy with traditional surgery for uterine myomas to determine efficacy, ability to control bleeding, and recurrence. DESIGN Randomized, controlled, prospective study (Canadian Task Force classification I). SETTING Obstetrics and gynecology department in Jinhua Municipal Central Hospital. PATIENTS Women with symptomatic uterine myoma. INTERVENTIONS Sixty-four patients with symptomatic uterine myomas were randomly divided into trial (group A, n = 33) and control groups (group B, n = 31). Temporary bilateral uterine artery occlusion and myomectomy were used in group A and laparoscopic myomectomy only in group B. Operative time, perioperative bleeding, follow-up relief of menorrhagia, and recurrence of myomas were evaluated. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS All patients in this study underwent successful laparoscopic operation without intraoperative complications. Operative time between groups was not significantly different (p = .255 in single-myoma group and p = .811 in multiple-myoma group), blood loss in group A was notably lower than the conventional surgery group (p < .001). At final follow-up (2 years), recurrence rate and menorrhagia symptom relief were not statistically significant (p = .828 and p > .999, respectively). The fertility index of antimüllerian hormone showed no statistical difference between groups preoperatively or at 2 days, 3 months, 6 months, and 1 year postoperatively (p = .086, p = .247, p = .670, p = .753, and p = .857, respectively). CONCLUSION Temporary bilateral uterine artery occlusion during laparoscopic myomectomy does not increase mean operative time, offers a possible option to reduce blood loss effectively, improves menorrhagia, and does not impact recurrence rate compared with conventional surgery.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To compare the safety and effectiveness of the harmonic scalpel and conventional electrosurgery in laparoscopic myomectomy (LM). MATERIALS AND METHODS We performed a retrospective chart review of 591 women with symptomatic uterine fibroids who underwent LM. Thirty-three cases of LMs with harmonic scalpel (LMH) were compared with a matched control group that underwent conventional electrosurgery (LME). Outcome measures for both groups were studied comparatively in terms of the amount of blood loss, requirement of blood transfusion, length of operative time, cost, and hospital stay. RESULTS There was no incidence of switching to abdominal laparotomy. Length of postoperative stay was significantly lower in the LMH group than in the LME group (2.0±0.4 days vs. 2.5±0.7 days, p<0.001), but the hospital charges were significantly higher in the LMH group than in the LME group (39,207.7±9315.0 new Taiwan dollar vs. 24,078.4±11,051.3 new Taiwan dollar, p<0.001). Four minor complications were noted in the LME group; two developed lower-grade febrile morbidity, one had urinary tract infection, and one had subcutaneous ecchymosis at the left ancillary port site. Length of operation, blood loss, hemoglobin decrease, and requirement of blood transfusion were not significantly different between the two groups. CONCLUSION Harmonic scalpel is as safe and effective as conventional electrosurgery, and may offer an alternative option for patients undergoing LM. Harmonic scalpel has advantage over conventional electrosurgery in less postoperative hospital stay but disadvantage in higher cost.

Abstract
Background The aim of this study was to assess curative effect of hysteroscopic and laparoscopic myomectomy for type II submucous myomas between 3 and 5 cm in diameter and explore the optimal surgical indications. Methods A retrospective analysis was performed of those who underwent hysteroscopic or laparoscopic myomectomy from January 2008 to January 2013. The patients were divided into three subgroups according to the myomas diameter (namely, 30 mm ≤ myomas diameter <40 mm; 40 mm ≤ myomas diameter <50 mm; and myomas diameter ≥ 50 mm). Clinical data such as operation time, amount of bleeding, postoperative anal exsufflation time, hospital stay, and complications were collected. Results There was no significant difference regarding operation time and amount of bleeding in two groups. We found significant difference in hysteroscopic group (within-subgroup) difference regarding operation time and amount of bleeding, whereas no significant difference in the laparoscopic group, while significant differences between-subgroup differences regarding operation time. Complete removal of myoma was seen in all patients. Conclusions Both techniques are feasible for type II submucous myomas. Laparoscopic operation has higher advantages in type II submucous myomas of greater than 4 cm in diameter whereas hysteroscopic operation has higher advantages in type II submucous myomas of lower than 4 cm in diameter.

Abstract
The minimally invasive approach for hysterectomy with proven benefits and lower morbidity has become the gold standard, even in women with large uterine masses. Most women with a malignant condition present with abnormal vaginal bleeding and/or suspicious imaging such that few are diagnosed by final histopathology after surgery. However, if a malignancy is not diagnosed preoperatively, intraabdominal morcellation for uterus extraction has an increased risk for potential tumor spread and peritoneal metastases, especially in cases of unexpected leiomyosarcoma. We describe a simple method to wrap the uterus in a contained environment with a plastic bag through the posterior vaginal fornix prior to conventional coring morcellation for vaginal extraction in total laparoscopic hysterectomy. We further describe our experience with a risk stratification and treatment algorithm to implement this procedure in daily routine. A video and an illustrating sketch demonstrate the simplicity and safety of the procedure.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Comparing the safety and effectiveness of the pulsed bipolar (PK) system and conventional electrosurgery in laparoscopic myomectomy (LM). MATERIALS AND METHODS Retrospective chart review of 194 women with symptomatic uterine fibroids undertaken LM was performed. Cases of LMs with PK cutting forceps were compared with a matched control group of standard LMs with conventional electrosurgery. Outcome measures for both groups were studied comparatively in terms of the length of operative time, amount of blood loss, requirement of blood transfusion and length of hospital stay. RESULTS The two groups were matched by age, body mass index, parity, previous cesarean delivery, size, number, and weight of fibroids. Amount of blood loss was significantly greater in electrosurgery group than in PK group at 243.8 ± 150.4mL versus 190.4 ± 178.5mL (p=0.025). Length of operation, hospitalization time, hemoglobin decrease, and requirement of blood transfusion were not significantly different. CONCLUSION Our findings indicate that PK system is more effective in LM when compared with conventional electrosurgery. PK system has advantage over conventional electrosurgery in less blood loss and may offer an alternative option for patients undergoing LM.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To compare clinical outcomes of laparoscopic transient uterine artery ligation plus myomectomy (LTUAL) to simple laparoscopic myomectomy (LM) for symptomatic myomas. DESIGN Comparative observational study. SETTING Medical centers. PATIENT(S) One hundred sixty-seven patients with symptomatic myomas. INTERVENTION(S) Eighty-four patients underwent LTUAL and LM; 83 patients underwent LM only. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE(S) Operative time, blood loss, gonadal hormone level, uterine artery resistance index, menorrhea, pregnancy rate, and recurrence rate of myoma. RESULT(S) The intraoperative blood loss in the LTUAL group was lower than in the LM group. The menstrual blood volume (MBV) and the menstrual period of the LTUAO group was unchanged after operation relative to the prediseased volume. No significant difference was found in the resistance index of the uterine artery blood flow, the recurrence rate, and the fertility rate between the LTUAL and LM groups. CONCLUSION(S) LTUAL and LM are a promising surgical treatment for symptomatic uterine myoma and did not produce any appreciable adverse effect on fertility.

Abstract
Abstract
Rationale and Objectives: MR-guided Focused Ultrasound Surgery (MRgFUS) is an evolving thermoablative technique for treatment of benign and malignant soft tissue tumors. The feasibility and effectiveness of this non-invasive method has been tested by several investigators by treating uterine fibroid. The aim of the present study was to evaluate early and mid-term efficacy of MRgFUS treatment using MR imaging follow-ups. Materials and Methods: 38 patients with uterine fibroids were enrolled and treated by MRgFUS in a single center. MRI follow-up exams were performed 3 and 6 months after the procedure. Total fibroid volumes (FV) and non-perfused volumes (NPV) were compared and evaluated over time. Results: There was a significant reduction of FV at 3- and 6-month follow-ups (10±19%, p=0.022 and 19±29%, p<0.001, respectively). In the subgroup of fibroids smaller than 5.4 cm in diameter a 35±18% volume reduction was found after 6 months. There was also a positive correlation found between the early NPV and the FV decrease at 3- and 6-months follow-ups. Conclusion: This study suggests that MRgFUS can effectively coagulate uterine fibroid tissue. Smaller UFs can be most effectively treated within reasonable time with the used equipment.

Abstract
With fifteen years of development, laparoscopy for myomectomy has proven its advantages. However, this technique remains controversial concerning its feasibility and the quality of uterine scar obtained. Laparoscopic myomectomy (LM) is usually indicated when number of myomas is less than 3 to 4 with a 8 to 9 cm maximal size. Surgical technique is standardized and intervention time becomes acceptable. Risk of conversion ranges between 1 to 3% when technique is realized by trained surgeon. Bleeding is less important compared with laparotomy and immediate postoperative complications are exceptional. Results concerning fertility are positive with more than 50% of infertile patient conceiving after surgery, this rate rising up to 61 to 76% for myomas isolated cause for infertility; these values can be compared with myomectomy realized by laparotomy. Postoperative adhesions seem to be less important after laparoscopy when compared with laparotomy but this point needs to be confirmed. Risk of uterine rupture is estimated between 0 to 1%, but this point needs for larger series evaluation and needs to be compared with pregnancies after laparotomy. Laparoscopic myomectomy is a feasible technique, safe for patients waiting for conception and has proven its interest in case of infertility.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Isobaric gasless laparoscopy and minilaparotomy have been used as more recent minimally invasive approaches to myomectomy. This randomized trial aimed to compare the surgical and immediate postoperative outcomes for myomectomy performed by isobaric gasless laparoscopy with those for minilaparotomy. METHODS A total of 100 patients with symptomatic uterine myomas requiring myomectomy were randomly allocated to the gasless laparoscopy group or the minilaparotomy group. The randomization procedure was based on a computer-generated list. The primary outcome was a comparison of the discharge times between the two procedures. A power calculation verified that more than 26 patients for each group was necessary to detect a difference of more than 24 h in discharge time with an alpha error level of 5% and a beta error of 80%. Continuous outcome variables were analyzed using the Student's t-test. Discrete variables were analyzed with the chi-square test or Fisher's exact test. A p value less than 0.05 was considered statistically significant. RESULTS The mean discharge time was longer for minilaparotomy than for gasless laparoscopy (98.4 +/- 1.4 vs 52.8 +/- 1.6 h; p < 0.001). Gasless laparoscopy resulted in shorter times for canalization (21.6 +/- 1.1 vs 32 +/- 1.3 h; p < 0.05) and surgery (79.5 +/- 25.1 vs 103.5 +/- 24.9 min; p < 0.001). The intraoperative blood loss was less with gasless laparoscopy (154.2 +/- 1.2 vs 188.6 +/- 1.3 ml; p < 0.001). No intraoperative complications occurred, and no case was returned to the theater in either group. No conversion to standard laparotomy was necessary. CONCLUSIONS Isobaric gasless laparoscopy and minilaparotomy can be suitable options for uterine myomectomy. Several surgical and immediate postoperative outcomes were significantly better in the gasless laparoscopy group than in the minilaparotomy group. However, further controlled prospective studies are required to confirm the results.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to assess the feasibility and efficacy of laparoscopic myomectomy (LM) for large myomas. A subpopulation of 51 patients with myomas 8 cm or larger in diameter was selected from 155 patients who underwent LM at Kangbuk Samsung Hospital from July 2003 to November 2006. The mean age of the patients was 34.9 +/- 5.6 yr, mean parity was 0.6 +/- 0.9, and 8 patients had a previous operative history. The most common operative indication was a palpable abdominal mass (24 patients, 47%). The mean operating time was 85.6 +/- 38.9 min, and the mean diameter of the largest myoma was 9.3 +/- 1.8 cm. The mean change in hemoglobin concentration was 2.1 +/- 1.2 g/dL. Histopathological diagnosis included 49 patients of leiomyoma (96.1%) and 2 patients of leiomyoma with adenomyosis (3.9%). Postoperatively, a transfusion was done in 7 patients, and a case of subcutaneous emphysema was noted. None of the operations was switched to laparotomy. With the newly-developed screw and the port placement system that was modified from the Choi's 4-trocar method to obtain better surgical vision, LM of large myomas proved to be one of the efficient and feasible methods.

Abstract
STUDY OBJECTIVE To evaluate the influence of oxytocin on operative blood loss during laparoscopic myomectomy (LM). DESIGN Prospective clinical study (Canadian Task Force classification I). SETTING Tertiary care university hospital. PATIENTS Sixty women scheduled for myomectomy because of symptomatic uterine myomas. INTERVENTION Two ampules of oxytocin (10 u/mL/amp) were added to 1000 mL of saline solution running at the rate of 40 mU/min during the course of LM. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS Blood loss and blood transfusion rate were significantly greater in the group without oxytocin infusion (group B) than in the group with oxytocin infusion (group A), with 445.0 +/- 268.6 mL (95% CI 344.7-545.3) versus 269.5 +/- 225.8 mL (95% CI 185.2-353.8)/(p <.05), and 36.7% versus 6.7% (p <.05), respectively. There was no significant difference in average age, body weight, or numbers of vaginal delivery and cesarean sections between the 2 groups. There was no significant difference in mean total myoma weight, main myoma size, postoperative stay, and complications between the 2 groups. CONCLUSION Oxytocin infusion combined with skillful surgical techniques may decrease operative blood loss and blood transfusion during LM.

Abstract
We compare the removal of uterine myomas in 78 nulliparous women identified by ultrasound during laparoscopic myomectomy through culdotomy or by use of a power morcellator. Patients were divided into two groups. The culdotomy group was significantly longer. There were no significant differences in tumor size, total specimen weight, patient body weight, total operating time, blood loss, and postoperative stay between each group. Uterine myomas can be removed successfully through either port site in nullipara; however, because of reduced removal time, the power morcellator is preferred.
