title: Myomectomy by pelvicoscopy.
abstract: The evolution of laparoscopic techniques has made possible the performance of myomectomies by pelviscopy. Our technique implies the incision of myometrium with diluted POR 8, the excision of myometrium by scissors and the removal of the myoma using a SEMM Enucleator, and finally the suture of one or two layers of the wound using a cylinder needle. The myoma is extracted from the abdominal cavity using sharp cylindrical morcellators. Our technique does not consider the use of monopolar or bipolar energy.
