[Vaginal myomectomy].
The authors present a retrospective study of 26 patients who have benefited from vaginal myomectomy after culdotomy in the Conception hospital in Marseille between 1992 and 1997. The myomectomy whom technic is described, was performed unically through the vagina or laparoscopically assisted. The mean operating time was 94 mn. The myoma mean weight was 184.3 g. Three patients experienced an abdominal surgery, twice because of a vaginal inaccessness. The immediate and mean-term post-operative period was uncomplicated in most cases. For screened patients, vaginal myomectomy appears as an interesting alternative to abdominal or laparoscopic surgery.
