Abstract
Laparoscopic myomectomy was performed in 33 patients. The indication for laparoscopy were pelvic mass and/or infertility. Nd: YAG laser was used for the uterine incision. Myometrium and serosa were sutured, Myomas were removed through the10mm trocar puncture site, the suprapubic puncture site or the cu1-de sac after flag-mentation of large myomas. Fifty one myomas were removed laparoscopically. No complication was observed. In selected cases, laparoscopic myomectomy appeares to be a safe technique with the advantages of laparoscopic surgery.
