Abstract
Background: Leiomyomas are a group of benign smooth muscle tumors commonly present in women of reproductive age. The quantity, dimensions, and positioning of the tumor are critical considerations in determining the appropriate surgical approach. In recent years, laparoscopic myomectomy has become a common procedure, offering numerous benefits. Consequently, we conduct the study which aims to demonstrate the clinical and paraclinical characteristics as well as the outcomes of laparoscopic myomectomy.
Materials and methods: A cross-sectional follow-up descriptive study involving 130 patients with uterine fibroids who underwent laparoscopic myomectomy at Hue Central Hospital from April 2022 to April 2024.
Results: The predominant clinical manifestations observed were an increase in tumor size and abnormal uterine bleeding. A majority of the cases involved 1 to 2 fibroids (96.9%), primarily located in the intramural (43.1%) and subserosal (40.8%) regions. The average duration of the surgical procedure was 149.1 ± 36.8 minutes, accompanied by an average blood loss of 148.3 ± 74.9 ml. Patients had a mean postoperative hospital stay of 4.8 ± 1.6 days. All individuals expressed satisfaction with this surgical approach. Factors such as the number of tumors, their size, and location influenced both the duration of the surgery and the amount of blood loss.
Conclusions: Laparoscopic myomectomy is a safe and effective minimally invasive procedure when it is appropriately indicated and conducted by skilled surgeons.
