Uterine leiomyomas remain the commonest cause of menorrhagia and frequently cause pressure symptoms. Management of leiomyomas depends on the presenting symptoms, size, location, number of myomas, and the patient's desire to retain her uterus, fertility, or both. We present the first case of laparoscopic myomectomy for a fibroid measuring 30cm in maximum diameter.

Objective: To comparatively evaluate the effectiveness of uterine artery embolization (UAE), focused ultrasound (HIFU), radiofrequency ablation (RFT), and laparoscopic/laparotomic surgery in the conservative treatment of uterine fibroids DATA SOURCES: The research was performed via electronic databases PubMed, EMBASE, and Cochrane Library, using the PRISMA standards.
Methods Of Study Selection: The network included 10 randomized trials between 2000 and 2024 and 1002 randomized subjects.

Background: The primary perioperative concern during laparoscopic myomectomy is the risk of significant intraoperative blood loss, which can lead to hypovolemia, necessitate blood transfusion, and result in postoperative anemia. To address this issue, we conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to assess the impact of temporarily clamping the uterine and utero-ovarian arteries on operative blood loss during laparoscopic myomectomy.
Methods: We conducted a comprehensive search across various databases to identify eligible clinical trials from inception to May 2024, focusing on randomized controlled trials (RCTs).

Introduction: Laparoscopic myomectomy is a commonly performed operation with fast recovery and excellent results. However, haemorrhagic nature of the operation mandates us to use variety of vasoconstrictive and uterotonic agents. Amongst which, one of them is vasopressin.

December 2024
Background: To decrease the risk of unsuspected malignancies disseminating, several studies have shown the safety of using a containment bag to limit tissue dissemination during manual or power morcellation. Furthermore, in 2020, the FDA recommended performing laparoscopic power morcellation for myomectomy or hysterectomy only within a tissue containment system.
Objective: To show step-by-step a new surgical technique using vaginal power morcellation within an endoscopic pouch without adding or extending other incisions.

Parasitic leiomyoma (PL) develops when fragments of a morcellated uterine leiomyoma, during procedures such as laparoscopic myomectomy (LM) or total laparoscopic hysterectomy (TLH), adhere to other tissues. We recently encountered a case where PL developed in the mesentery of the sigmoid colon following TLH. A 51-year-old woman had previously undergone TLH with in-abdominal morcellation.
