Pregnancy outcome and deliveries following laparoscopic myomectomy

Abstract

Laparoscopic myomectomy (LM) is a recently introduced technique which enables intramural and subserous myomas et al., 1996). Compared with myomectomy by laparotomy, LM offers reduced postoperative pain, a shorter hospital stay, and quicker return to normal activity (Mais et al., 1996). When pregnancy is desired, the technique appears particularly advantageous in that it could reduce the risk of postoperative adhesions compared with laparotomy (Bulletti et al., 1996; Dubuisson et al., 1998).
