ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT Abstract
20
Objective: To introduce a new technique of laparoscopic myomectomy (LM) using single
21
port access and modified suture technique.
22
Methods: During October 2011 and December 2012, 55 consecutive patients underwent
23
single-port LM with modified suture technique using Hem-o-lock ligation clip and myoma
24
morcellation through the umbilical incision site (Choi’s LM). As a historic control, patients
25
who underwent conventional multi-port LM from Jan 2008 through Nov 2010 were included
26
in the study. The electronic chart reviews of the 157 patients (55 Choi’s LM and 102 LM)
27
were done retrospectively. The inclusion criteria were symptomatic myomas measuring 10
28
cm or less and the number of myomas less than 3. The outcomes measured were operative
29
time, estimated blood loss, complications, length of postoperative hospital stay and
30
postoperative pain.
31
Results: Age, symptoms resulting from the myomas, location and type of the dominant
32
myomas, and number of myomas were similar in the 2 groups. There were no significant
33
differences concerning the mean diameter (6.8 cm versus 7.0 cm; P=0.40) of the myomas
34
between the groups. The mean duration of the operation was shorter (104 min vs. 152 min;
