title: Use of carboprost to facilitate hysteroscopic resection of submucous myomas.
abstract: Ten women with submucous myomas that could not be completely resected hysteroscopically were treated with intracervical carboprost. This caused uterine contraction and extrusion of the unresectable intramural component into the endometrial cavity. Eleven of 13 myomas in these patients could then be completely resected. One intramural myoma extruded into the endometrial cavity after injection of carboprost and was also completely resected.
