| Popis: | This report relates that preoperative uterine artery embolization and laparoscopic morcellation may be appropriate treatment for even the largest of leiomyomas. Size need not be a limiting factor for laparoscopic myomectomies. 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. |
