Patients' Age, Myoma Size, Myoma Location, and Interval Between Myomectomy and Pregnancy May Influence the Pregnancy Rate and Live Birth Rate After Myomectomy

Vaginal Myomectomy for Semipedunculated Cervical Myoma during Pregnancy

Objective Cases of prolapsed myoma in which pregnancy was carried to full term or near term after vaginal myomectomy are very rare. Previously, only two such cases have been reported. In addition, both those patients had a pedunculated leiomyoma, which could be treated by twisting or clamping. Here, we report a case of a patient who was able to carry her pregnancy to term despite vaginal myomec...

Successful myomectomy of a bleeding myoma in a twin pregnancy

Uterine fibroids are often seen in pregnancy, with a reported prevalence between 0.1% and 15%. The incidence is increasing because more women delay pregnancy. The effect of uterine fibroids on fertility and pregnancy depends on number, size and location. In 2% of all pregnancies with uterine fibroids, conservative therapy fails and myomectomy by laparotomy or laparoscopy had to be performed, ma...

Recurrence of uterine myoma after myomectomy: Open myomectomy versus laparoscopic myomectomy

AIM Open myomectomy (OM) was previously frequently performed; however, laparoscopic myomectomy (LM) has recently become more common. Nevertheless, myoma can recur after both LM and OM. In this study, we report our retrospective investigation of myoma recurrence by comparing LM and OM. METHODS A total of 474 patients underwent LM and 279 patients underwent OM. The patients were followed-up pos...

Torsion of a parasitic myoma that developed after abdominal myomectomy

Iatrogenic parasitic myomas are rare. The condition is defined by the presence of multiple smooth-muscle tumorous nodules in the peritoneal cavity. This may be attributable to seeding of myoma particles during uterine surgery. The clinical course is usually indolent. The disease is often asymptomatic and is usually discovered only incidentally. A 38-year-old woman who had undergone abdominal my...
