Laparoscopic removal of a 5-cm subserous pedunculated myoma with small instruments.

ABSTRACT

A mobile, subserous, pedunculated myoma was located on the anterior surface of the uterus in a 45-year-old woman. Bipolar coagulation was performed on the pedicle, and the myoma was dissected with an electrical morcellator and removed through the umbilicus. This technique required placement of one 5- to 12-mm cannula in the umbilicus and two 2-mm miniports at the pubic hairline. This technique is easy to perform, and the patient benefits from minimal postoperative pain and excellent cosmetic results.
