DESIGN: Prospective clinical study. SETTING: University-affiliated tertiary referral center. PATIENT(S): Eighty-seven women with symptomatic fibroids warranting surgical treatment and wanting to retain their uteri. INTERVENTION(S): Laparoscopic bipolar coagulation of uterine arteries and anastomotic sites of uterine arteries with ovarian arteries. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE(S): Percentage reduction in the dominant fibroid size and clinical response evaluation. RESULT(S): Eighty-five (97.7%) of 87 patients underwent technically successful laparoscopic coagulation of uterine vessels without intraoperative complications. The mean follow-up time was 10.2 months. Symptomatic improvement was reported in 76 (89.4%) of 85 patients, including 18 (21.2%) with complete resolution of symptoms. Significant reductions in the dominant fibroid size (average, 76%) and the uterine volume (average, 46%) were sonographically demonstrated. Two patients conceived 4 and 9 months, respectively, after treatment. Three (3.5%) premenopausal women became postmenopausal postoperatively. CONCLUSION(S): Laparoscopic bipolar coagulation of uterine vessels appears to be a promising new method for treating fibroid-related menorrhagia and pelvic pain. ------>tmu_sno=None ------>sno=7461 ------>authors2=None ------>authors3=None ------>authors4=None ------>authors5=None ------>authors6=None ------>authors6_c=None ------>authors=Liu WM, Ng HT, Wu YC, Yen YK, Yuan CC ------>delete_flag=0 ------>SCI_JNo=None ------>authors2_c=None ------>publish_area=None ------>updateTitle=Laparoscopic bipolar coagulation of uterine vessels: a new method for treating symptomatic fibroids. ------>language=2 ------>check_flag= ------>submit_date= ------>country=None ------>no=2 ------>patent_SDate=None ------>update_bywho= ------>publish_year=2001 ------>submit_flag= ------>publish_month=None |
