A case-controlled study comparing harmonic versus electrosurgery in laparoscopic myomectomy.

Objective: To compare the safety and effectiveness of the harmonic scalpel and conventional electrosurgery in laparoscopic myomectomy (LM).

Materials And Methods: We performed a retrospective chart review of 591 women with symptomatic uterine fibroids who underwent LM. Thirty-three cases of LMs with harmonic scalpel (LMH) were compared with a matched control group that underwent conventional electrosurgery (LME).
