Operative Pelviscopic Myomectomy
Video operative pelviscopic myomectomy was used to treat 115 women with leiomyomata uteri. The procedures were performed from April 1989 to January 1994. The average number of myomas removed were three and the largest was 12 cm. All but three patients were discharged the day of surgery from an ambulatory surgical center. The findings, preoperative medications, operative time, estimated blood loss, additional procedures, and complications have been compiled. Video operative pelviscopic myomectomy can be used to treat certain patients with leiomyomata uteri in the hands of a skilled operator.
