Chain removal of myomata by colpotomy.
Multiple myomectomy was performed in 67 women between June 1996 and July 1998. In almost every case, myomas were sutured one to another with a single stitch of 1 silk, forming a chain, and taken out through the vaginal cul-de-sac. We believe this method reduces the risk of losing myomas inside the peritoneal cavity and shortens operating time. (J Am Assoc Gynecol Laparosc 6(3):337-338, 1999)
