BACKGROUND/AIMS: To compare the perinatal outcomes after laparoscopic myomectomy (LM) versus abdominal myomectomy (AM). METHODS: The medical records of 105 Japanese females who delivered after myomectomy from 2004 to 2012 at Osaka Medical College were reviewed retrospectively. RESULTS: Of the 105 females who delivered after myomectomy, 48 had undergone LM and 57 had undergone AM. There were no significant differences in the perinatal outcomes including the rates of emergency cesarean sections, preterm deliveries, placental abnormalities, pregnancy-induced hypertension, low Apgar score, non-reassuring fetal heart rate patterns, and intrauterine fetal death. No significant difference was observed in the incidence of post-partum hemorrhage. There was no uterine rupture in either group. 15 (31%) of the females who had LM were candidates for transvaginal delivery, and 14 delivered vaginally (93% success rate). In contrast, 20 (35%) of the females who had AM were candidates for transvaginal delivery, and 19 delivered vaginally (95% success rate). CONCLUSION: There were no significant differences in the perinatal outcomes between the females who had LM and AM. Moreover, both groups had a high rate of successful transvaginal delivery after selecting the appropriate candidates.
