Objective To evaluate the effects of different laparoscopic approaches for hysteromyomectomy. Methods Hysteromyomectomy was performed on 126 patients who required surgical treatment and preservation of the uterus from August 2000 to December 2002 with different laparoscopic approaches. A follow-up for 2-28 months was conducted in all patients. Results There were 70 cases of subserous fibroids, 53 cases intramural fibroids, and 3 broad ligament fibroids in those 126 patients. The average diameter of the fibroids was 6.1 cm (3-12 cm). The diameter of the fibroids less than 5 cm was found in 33 patients (26.2%), but equal to or larger than 5 cm in 93 patients (73.8%). A single myoma was found in 57 patients (45.2%), but numerous myomas in 69 patients (54.8%). Hysteromyomectomy, hysteromyomectomy and uterine artery blockage, and hysteromyomectomy and temporary uterine artery blockage were performed on 26, 70, and 30 patients, respectively. Operations were successful in all patients. There were no intra- and post-operative complications. Conclusion Different laparoscopic approaches for hysteromyomectomy can result in satisfactory clinical outcomes when different case properties and different requirements of patients are taken into consideration.

Objective:
To conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis of studies evaluating the oncological and fertility outcomes of early-stage endometrial cancer (EC) treated with the levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine system (LIUS)-based regimens.
Methods:
The Meta-analyses Of Observational Studies in Epidemiology statement for meta-analyses was followed. Searches were conducted on MEDLINE, Embase, PubMed, Preprints, and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials from January 1990 to August 4, 2022. The Joanna Briggs Institute Critical Appraisal Checklist was used for quality assessment. The primary endpoint was the complete response (CR) rate and the secondary endpoints were relapse, pregnancy, and live birth rate.
Results:
A total of 25 studies (821 women) were included. The CR rate of LIUS-based regimens was 63.4% (95% confidence interval [CI]=52.3%–73.2%), with 29.6% (95% CI=23.3%–36.8%) of cases experiencing recurrence during follow-up. In sensitivity analyses, patients younger than 45 years of age with a body mass index <30 kg/m2 who were treated with LIUS-based regimens achieved a high CR rate of 84.6% (95% CI=80.3%–88.1%) over a median follow-up of more than 24 months. Overall pregnancy and live birth rates were 37.9% (95% CI=24.1%–53.9%) and 39.3% (95% CI=24.0%–57.0%), respectively. No statistical differences were apparent in CR or relapse rates among the LIUS+GnRH agonist, LIUS+oral progesterone, or hysteroscopic resection followed by LIUS subgroups.
Conclusion
LIUS-based therapies are viable for the conservative management of early-stage endometrioid EC on CR and fertility outcome.
