Abdominal myomectomy for otherwise unexplained infertility.

Abstract:

:Twenty-three patients with otherwise unexplained infertility underwent abdominal myomectomy for the removal of subserous or intramural myomata. None were submucosal in location. Fifteen of these patients (65.2%) conceived. There were 18 term births in 13 patients. All but 1 patient conceived within the first year. The age of the patient, duration of infertility, size and number of the fibroids, hysterosalpingography, or presence of menorrhagia did not necessarily predict success.
