Abstract
The indications for operative laparoscopy have expanded greatly over the past decades, as its many advantages over laparotomy have been recognized. We report our techniques and short-term results concerning myomectomy by laparoscopy. From January 1, 1990 to October 1, 1991, 147 intraperitoneal myomectomies were performed in 70 patients: 46 of 70 were treated preoperatively with a depot gonadotrophin-releasing hormone agonist. No complications were observed. In selected cases, with the advantages of laparoscopic surgery, laparoscopic myomectomy appears to be a safe technique.Entities:
