Aim. To analyze the incidence and types of adverse outcomes and complications of laparoscopic myomectomies. Materials and methods. This work is a retrospective study based on data from the Kulakov National Medical Research Center for Obstetrics, Gynecology, and Perinatology. We analyzed 711 case histories of patients diagnosed with uterine myoma who received surgical treatment in the Department of Innovative Oncology and Gynecology from 2015 to 2019. The frequency of malignant neoplasms, verified by pathomorphological examination, and the characteristics of surgical interventions performed in these patients were comparatively evaluated. Results. Surgical interventions for uterine myoma are leading in gynecology due to the high prevalence of such disorders. Conservative myomectomy remains the "gold standard" in organ-sparing surgery. However, during surgeries for suspected benign neoplasms, there is a risk of morcellation of the malignant tumor, significantly worsening patient survival outcomes. In our study, the incidence of uterine leiomyosarcoma in suspected benign neoplasms was 0.98%. The probability of parasitic myomas or disseminated perineal leiomyomatosis after myomatous nodule morcellation is 0.19%. Conclusion. No reliable information about the malignant potential of the tumor and its proliferative activity can be obtained until a definitive pathomorphological examination. The above considerations warrant the routine use of prophylactic measures to prevent tumor cell dissemination.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
