ABSTRACT
INTRODUCTION: The development of hysteroscopic techniques has led to an advance in submucous myoma treatment, offering a safe and effective minimally invasive alternative. Our objective was to compare the results of hysteroscopic myomectomy when using whether the mini-resectoscope or the MyoSure morcellator, as well as patient satisfaction after the procedure. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A prospective, cross-sectional, observational study including 80 patients distributed into two groups: Mini-Resectoscope group (MRG) or MyoSure group (MSG), depending on the instrument used for the in-office hysteroscopic myomectomy. Resection time, pain during entry, pain during resection, number of resections required, complete resection, and total satisfaction were recorded. RESULTS: MSG had statistically significant shorter time of entrance. There were no other statistically significant differences between groups. CONCLUSIONS: In-office hysteroscopic myomectomy is associated with high levels of patient satisfaction, without differences between the mini-resectoscope or the MyoSure, allowing high rates of complete resection using both instruments. Thus, it is a feasible technique which could be performed with both instruments, depending on the operator's expertise.
