A prospective short-term evaluation of uterine leiomyomas treated by myomectomy through conventional laparotomy or ultraminilaparotomy

Basal FSH level changes after different types of uterine vessel occlusion in the management of uterine fibroids

“…Uterine fibroids are the most common benign tumors of the uterus (24). Although hysterectomy remains one of the most definitive therapies, there are many relatively less invasive procedures which are designed to retain the uterus (25).…”

Reducing blood loss at myomectomy with use of a gelatin-thrombin matrix hemostatic sealant

“…Methods to control bleeding and repair wounds have existed for many years (2, 3). Therefore, several methods to control blood loss in myomectomies are available, including the use of diluted vasopressin and analogues, misoprostol, oxytocin, chemical dissection with sodium-2-mercaptoethanesulfonate (mesna), midline uterine incision, tourniquets, autologous blood transfusion, hypotensive anesthesia, and GnRH agonists (2,3,(12)(13)(14)(15)(16)(17)(18)(19).…”

Comparison of surgery alone and combined surgical-medical treatment in the management of symptomatic uterine adenomyoma

“…Minilaparotomy (29,30), ultraminilaparotomy (31,32), or laparoscopy (33,34) was used with these patients. The principles of reproductive surgery were strictly followed, thereby minimizing trauma to normal uterine tissue at all times (11).…”
