ABSTRACT
Laparoscopic dissection of uterine vessels is a new minimally invasive method to treat symptomatic fibroids. A potential complication of uterine artery dissection is uterine necrosis. A woman with a large intramural fibroid underwent laparoscopic dissection of the uterine vessels using ultrasonic activated shears and three months later developed focal uterine necrosis requiring exploratory laparotomy and supracervical hysterectomy. Although uterine artery coagulation and dissection are procedures with a low reported rate of complications, uterine fibroid or focal uterine necrosis can occur.
