title: Intraoperative injection of prostaglandin F2alpha in a patient undergoing hysteroscopic myomectomy.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To present a case of one-step total hysteroscopic myomectomy using prostaglandin F(2alpha).
  
  
  METHODS
  Case report.
  
  
  METHODS
  University hospital.
  
  
  METHODS
  A 38-year-old woman with a sessile submucous leiomyoma.
  
  
  METHODS
  Hysteroresectoscopy using an intraoperative injection of prostaglandin F(2alpha) under laparoscopic monitoring.
  
  
  METHODS
  Endoscopic appearance, clinical symptoms, and imaging diagnosis.
  
  
  RESULTS
  After resection of the protruding portion of the myoma, injection of prostaglandin F(2alpha) was used to cause the remnant to project into the uterine cavity, allowing complete removal.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Intraoperative use of prostaglandin F(2alpha) may allow one-step hysteroresectoscopy of a sessile submucous leiomyoma.
