title: Transcervical resection of submucous uterine fibroids: an alternative approach to management.
abstract: Transcervical resection of submucous uterine fibroids can be an effective alternative to laparotomy and transuterine myomectomy in selected women. To date the authors have performed this procedure in three patients in an ambulatory environment. In two patients, transcervical resection was performed for giant intrauterine myomas which caused pathologic uterine bleeding and infertility. In a third patient the procedure was performed to resect multiple small submucous myomas causing infertility.
