Myomectomy. Comparison of open and laparoscopic techniques.

Abstract:

:It appears that both laparoscopic and laparotomy approaches to myomectomy are viable surgical procedures. Both surgeries can be performed with minimal risk. Pregnancy rates after either procedure are high. The advantage of laparotomy over laparoscopy is that it is technically easier. On the other hand, laparoscopy enables quicker and easier recovery. Moreover, the risk of adhesion formation is reduced. If the surgeon can rise to the technical challenge, a laparoscopic approach to myomectomy should be the intended surgery.
