title: Transuterine resection of fibroids: a new approach to the management of submucous fibroids in selected patients.
abstract: Transuterine resection of fibroids is an effective alternative to hysterectomy in patients with uterine bleeding secondary to submucous fibroids. To date we have performed this procedure in 3 patients. In 2 patients transuterine resection was performed for uterine bleeding with a successful outcome. In the third patient the procedure was performed to treat infertility and the outcome is not yet known. The procedure should be performed by the combined efforts of a urologist and gynecologist.
