Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the feasibility and advantages of the excision of uterine fibroids by vaginal myomectomy. Methods A series of 58 patients with uterine fibroids were managed with myomectomy from May 2001 to Dec 2003. Meanwhile, the indications of vaginal surgery, the methods of operation, the complications of surgery, the overall operating time, the estimated operative blood loss, the postoperative recovery and hospital stay were explored. Results Myomectomy were successfully completed vaginally without shifting laparotomy in 57 patients. The successful rate was 98 3%. The mean operative time was 48 16 minutes. The estimated blood loss was 70 58ml. The postoperative complication was occurred in one patient with uterine infection. The mean length of lower fever was 1 8 days and the bower movement was 1 3 days. The average hospital stay was 4 9 days. Conclusions For uterine fibroids, the vaginal myomectomy is a good choice when the indication of operation are managed properly. It can be used in patients who have numerous, relatively large, and intramural fibroids with micro invasive surgery, little interfering with abdominal organs, less blood loss, less operating time, less cost and less hospital stay in comparison with abdominal myomectomy or laparoscopic myomectomy
