RESUMO
OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to determine recurrence factors and reproductive outcomes of laparoscopic myomectomy (LM) and minilaparotomic myomectomy (MM) for treating uterine leiomyomas. METHODS: Between 2007 and 2013, 160 patients underwent myomectomy, including 122 who underwent LM and 38 who underwent MM. Patients were followed up for recurrence based on pelvic ultrasound exams. Only patients who were followed up for a minimum of two years were selected for this retrospective study. Pregnancy rate, delivery, and delivery methods were compared between the two groups to evaluate reproductive outcomes. Furthermore, mean age, body mass index, preoperative administration of gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist (GnRHa), and characteristics of leiomyomas were investigated to determine recurrence factors. RESULTS: The mean body mass index in the MM group was significantly (P=0.048) higher than that in the LM group. The number and the largest diameter of removed leiomyoma were also significantly higher in the MM group (both P=0.001). Logistic regression after adjusting significantly different characteristics showed that the LM group had shorter (P=0.020) postoperative hospitalization days compared to the MM group. Other outcome variables including recurrence rate were not significantly different between the two groups. Reproductive outcomes such as pregnancy rate, delivery, and delivery methods were not significantly different between the two groups. Preoperative GnRHa therapy was the only significant (P=0.039) recurrence factor after myomectomy. CONCLUSION: This study showed that LM and MM had similar recurrence rates and reproductive outcomes. The only recurrence factor of significance was preoperative administration of GnRHa.

RESUMO
The authors reviewed 1134 pediatric patients in the ebergency room in this hospital during 5 years period from Jan. 1979. to Dec. 1979. The results were obtained as follows: 1) Among the patients visiting the emergency room, the patients under 15 years of age were 6.1%(1134) of total emergency patients(18447). 2) The male to female ratio was 1.5:1. 3) The highest age group was in the 3-5 years, and the patients in this age group were occupied 23.8%. The age distribution showed that 57.7% was under the 5 years of age. 4) Seasonal distribution of patients showed high incidence in summer(June, July, and Aug.). 5) The most popular time of visiting the emergency room was between 8:00 P.M. to 12:00 P.M. at which time about 32.8% of patients were seen. 6) Distribution of cases as follows: Respiratory disease 35.7%, accident 177% and gastrointestinal disease 14.8%, in turn, kusted reseoectuvely in decresing order of frequency. URI was the most frequency, 25.1% of the total cases, The next diseases were diarrhea(9.5%), Bronchitis(6.6%) and febrile convulsion(6.3%) in turn decreasing order. 7) The most frequent case in various age groups was Respiratory disease. 8) Admission rate of total pediatric patients visiting ER was 7.4% by recommendation. Rate against recommendation of admission was 3.2% of total pediatric patients visiting ER. 9) We think the number of pediatric emergent patient is increasing due to understanding of community inhabitant.
