[Endoscopic treatment of uterine myoma].
The technique and results of endoscopic resection of submucosal uterine myoma performed in a series of 42 cases are presented. Following hysterography and hysteroscopy, endoscopic resection is carried out through a dilated cervix and under glycol infusion. The technique is very simple and the duration of the operation never exceeds 30 minutes. The postoperative period is short, and the average length of stay in hospital varies from 24 to 48 hours. Resection of submucosal myoma usually enables treatment with progestins to be discontinued. Moreover, when the submucosal myoma is not very large and solitary this technique offers an alternative to hysterectomy.
