Abstract
Laparoscopic myomectomy can be carried out in cases of subserosal and intramural fibroids. Laparoscopic myolysis can be proposed as an alternative to laparoscopic myomectomy in cases of large or multiple intramural fibroids in women aged over 40 or not desiring to bear more children but wishing to avoid a future hysterectomy. The authors report the technique and the long-term results in a series of 48 women with fibroids treated by myolysis. Because of the risk of bowel adhesions, further studies with another type of laser fiber are required. (J GYNECOL SURG 9:95, 1993)Keywords
