ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
We sought to compare myomectomy performed by laparotomy (LT), and 2 other modified approaches ultraminilaparotomy (UMLT) and laparoscopically assisted UMLT for uterine fibroids with a size <8 cm and the number <5. STUDYDESIGN:
A cohort study, including 79 (35.3%) women in the LT group, 71 (31.7%) in the UMLT group, and 74 (33.0%) in the laparoscopically assisted UMLT group, was conducted. The outcome was measured by comparing surgical parameters, immediate postoperative recovery, and therapeutic outcomes.RESULTS:
The median follow-up was 52 months with similar recurrence rates in the 3 groups. The modified approaches had advantages not only in the surgical parameters, but also in postoperative recovery, compared to LT (all P < .05).CONCLUSION:
UMLT and laparoscopically assisted UMLT can be used successfully in place of LT in the management of uterine fibroids.
