title: A single, continuous spiraling suture for uterine wall reconstruction after laparoscopic enucleation of intramural myomas.
abstract: After laparoscopic enucleation of intramural myomas in eight women, the uterine wall defect was reconstructed with a single continuous spiraling suture. The procedure contained cost and reduced operating time. No patients had postoperative intramural hematoma. Although this is a reproducible method of laparoscopic uterine wall reconstruction, long-term results must be obtained to determine safety in pregnancy and extent of postoperative adhesions.
