Uterine myomas, the most common benign solid pelvic tumors in women, occur in twenty percent of them in reproductive years and form the most common indication for hysterectomy. Various factors affect the choice of the best treatment modality for a given patient. Asymptomatic myomas may be managed by careful follow up. Medical therapy should be tried as a first line of treatment for symptomatic ...

This study aims to determine whether clinical evaluation of improved MyoSure hysteroscopic tissue removal system can remove type II submucosal myomas with safety and high success rate of the first operation.Fifty-three patients with type II submucosal myomas hospitalized in the Huzhou Maternity and Child Care Hospital were enrolled in this study. The submucosal myomas were with the diameter of ...

Uterine myomas represent one of the most common female diseases. Uterine myomas or fibromas are benign, hormone-responding tumours of, respectively, smooth muscles and fibroblasts and their aetiology induces a significant interest. In myomas the presence of aromatase was detected and, in addition, oestrogen was found to be synthesized in myoma cells. The studies were performed on myoma patients...

Uterine myomas represent one of the most frequently manifested benign tumors in women. They originate from smooth muscle cells of myometrium or its blood vessels. Many studies suggest that inflammation and pro-inflammatory factors may play a role in the carcinogenesis with an involvement of the transcription factor NF-kappaB which activity can be controlled by various environmental factors, inc...

To obtain estimates of the effect of abdominal myomectomy on infertility, information from studies published in the English language literature between 1982 and 1996 was retrieved. Articles were identified through hand and computerized searches using Medline. A total of 27 trials, all published in peer-reviewed journals, was identified, of which four were excluded from the analysis because of m...

background:   uterine myomas are common pelvic masses during pregnancy. the pain and rapid growth of myomas are among the most common complications during pregnancy. we evaluate management of painful cystic degeneration of myomas during pregnancy case: a 27-year-old primigravida had a pelvic mass. we have managed a case in which the diagnosis of cystic degeneration of uterine myomas could not b...

Perineal myomas in female are exceptional. We report the second case in literature of perineal myomas. It is a case of bilateral perineal myomas lifting the skin occurring in a female patient of 49 years old. She was operated by perineal incisions. Histopathology confirmed the fibromatous nature without signs of malignancy.

Objective To evaluate the feasibility of robot-assisted laparoscopic myomectomy in multiple myomas over 10. Methods A retrospective study was conducted for 662 patients who underwent robot-assisted laparoscopic myomectomy and open myomectomy by a single operator in a tertiary university hospital. Results A total of 30 women underwent removal of 10 or more uterine myomas by robotics and 13 p...

AIM To elucidate the hemodynamics of the uterine artery myomas by use of Doppler ultrasound and biomagnetic measurements. METHOD Twenty-four women were included in the study. Sixteen of them were characterised with large myomas whereas 8 of them with small ones. Biomagnetic signals of uterine arteries myomas were recorded and analyzed with Fourier analysis. The biomagnetic signals were distri...

The aim of the paper was to consider the pathophysiological genesis of uterine myomas, especially diagnostic and therapeutic modalities, stressing the principles leading to rational decision-making process in individualizedmyoma management. The method presents a review of the recent literature on uterine myomas and synthesis of different authors' experiences. Uterinemyomas are themost common so...
