Abstract
OBJECTIVE
This study was conducted to compare the perioperative outcomes in patients with symptomatic uterine myoma who underwent laparoscopic (LM) or laparoscopically assisted myomectomy (LAM).
METHODS
A total of 207 patients with myoma underwent LM or LAM in Samsung Medical Center between October 2006 and March 2010. Of them, 121 patients with LM and 50 with LAM met the inclusion criteria and were compared for the perioperative outcomes.
RESULTS
The operation time was significantly shorter in the LAM group than in the LM group (111 min versus 139 min; p<.001, respectively). Estimated blood loss was significantly higher in the LAM group (p<.001). Intraoperative, early postoperative complications, hospitalization days and postoperative analgesics use were similar between the 2 study groups.
CONCLUSION
LM and LAM is comparable in the perioperative outcomes in patients with symptomatic uterine myoma.
