Enucleation of 482 Myomectomies
Of more than 800 women with uterine myomas, 60% underwent endoscopic myomectomy with uterine preservation and 40% conventional hysterectomy. Before endoscopic myomectomy, 3% of women were treated with gonadotropin-releasing hormone analogs for 3 to 6 months. Operating time was 30 to 60 minutes. No complications occurred. Histologically, the majority of myomas were fibromyomas.
