Title:
Outcome of hysteroscopic resection of submucous myomas for infertility (1995-797).
Source:
Fertility and Sterility. Vol 64(4) (pp14-716), 1995.
Abstract:
Objectives:
To examine the reproductive outcome after operative hysteroscopic resection of submucous myomas in women for whom no other infertility factor was identified.
Design:
Fifteen infertile women with submucous myomas underwent an intensive workup to exclude other causes of infertility. Operative hysteroscopy for resection of the submucous myomas was performed using a rigid 26 French resectoscope (Karl Storz GmbH and Co., Tuttlingen, Germany).
Setting:
Academic tertiary referral center.
Results:
The mean +/- SD duration of the procedure was 25.5 +/- 5.6 minutes. No operative or postoperative complications occurred and all patients were discharged within 6 hours. The follow-up period was 12.0 +/- 4.2 months (mean +/- SD). Seven women conceived (pregnancy rate of 47%) and six of them subsequently delivered at term.
Conclusion:
The results of this study indicate that operative hysteroscopy achieved a pregnancy rate comparable to myomectomy via laparotomy. These results suggest that operative hysteroscopy is the procedure of choice for the resection of submucous myomas in infertile women.
