Objective To evaluate the effect of laparoscopic myomectomy. Methods Clinical data of 62 cases of laparoscopic myomectomy were analyzed retrospectively. Results Success was achieved in all the operations.Of the 62 cases,intramural myoma was confirmed in 45 cases,and subserous myoma,17 cases (non-pedicled,10 cases; pedicled,7 cases).A total of 101 myomas were removed,with a diameter of 1～9 cm (mean,6 8 cm).The mean operative time was 25～270 min (mean,99 min),and the intraoperative blood loss,10～400 ml (mean,63 ml).The postoperative hospital stay was 2～8 days (mean,4 7 days) and the overall complication rate was 25 8% (16/62).Follow-up observation in 42 cases for 2～36 months (mean,9 months) found recurrence in 2 cases and full-term pregnancy in 2 out of 10 cases with infertility. Conclusions Laparoscopic myomectomy has advantages of safety,quick recovery,short hospital stay and fewer complications.

Objective:To study the clinical effects of modified surgical method with H-uvulopalatopharyngoplasty(H-UPPP)and traditional surgical method in the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome(OSAHS)in children.Methods:The clini-cal data of 364 pediatric patients with OSAHS were retrospectively analyzed.The patients were divided into 2 groups and treated by low-temperature plasma knife radio frequency ablation for bilateral tonsil removal combined with H-UPPP(group A,n=204)and low-temperature plasma knife radio frequency ablation only(group B,n=160)respectively.The operative time,intraoperative bleed-ing,postoperative secondary bleeding,VAS of pain following operation,postoperative traumatic white film shedding time,OAH1,LSaO2,ESS scores and complications of the 2 groups were compared.Results:In group A the operative time,intraoperative bleed-ing,VAS,OAHI and ESS scores were lower than those in group B(P＜0.05),wile postoperative traumatic white film detachment time and LSaO2 were higher(P＜0.05).No statistically significant difference in terms of the number of cases of postoperative seconda-ry bleeding and complications was observed between the 2 groups(P＞0.05).Conclusion:The combination of low-temperature plas-ma radio frequency ablation and H-UPPP for the treatment of OSAHS may provide clear intraoperative view,and may improve the treatment effects.
