title: [Laparoscopic myomectomy. 102 cases].
abstract: Myomectomy was performed by laparoscopy in 102 patients, according to a precise technique using the monopolar hook for the uterine incision and intraperitoneal sutures. Myomes were mostly removed through the suprapubic puncture site after fragmentation or by colpotomy. A laparotomy during the laparoscopic procedures was necessary in 2 cases. No complications were observed. A second-look laparoscopy or a cesarean section was performed in 24 cases. Post-operative adhesions were noted in 3 cases. In our experience, operative laparoscopy has several advantages over laparotomy and the risks of complications is low in selected cases.
