Re: Laparoscopic-Assisted Vaginal Myomectomy: A Case Report and Literature Review

چکیده
I read with great interest Herbert A. Goldfarb and Nicole J. Fanarijan’s article (Laparoscopic-assisted vaginal myomectomy: a case report and literature review. JSLS. 2001;5:81-85). The aim of this article was to present a new minimally invasive technique, laparoscopic-assisted vaginal myomectomy (LAVM), used for removing multiple transmural uterine myomas and faciliting uterine suturing. First of all, I would like to congratulate the authors on a successful presentation of the new surgical technique and the instructively written case report with a well-organized discussion. Laparoscopic-assisted vaginal myomectomy seems to be a very promising method, which could expand the spectrum of minimally invasive techniques used for myomectomy.

In summary, I believe that the laparoscopic assisted vaginal myomectomy is a technique that is appropriate for women who have a number of uterine myomas, especially deep intramural myomas with at least 1 large sentinel myoma.
