[Hysterotomy and focal ectomy of malignant trophoblastic tumor].
Hysterotomy and focal ectomy were performed on 25 patients with malignant trophoblastic tumor during 1979-1991, owing to the patients and their husbands desiring strongly to have reproductive function preserved. Each of the foci of malignant trophoblastic tumor was found to be single nodule with 1-4 cm in diameter and located within the myometrium. The incision of uterus was sutured interuptly with "2-0" catgut. The pregnant rate was 80% among the patients who had received this surgical therapy. The results showed that hysterotomy and focal ectomy were an effective management for some patients without children.
