Popis: Background: We assessed the results and impact of blockage of utero-ovarian anastomoses (UOA) on clinical outcome in women treated by laparoscopic uterine artery occlusion for uterine fibroids. Methods: Between 2004 and 2005, we prospectively analyzed the clinical data for 23 laparoscopic uterine artery occlusion cases combined with blockage of utero-ovarian anastomoses (Group A) and 67 laparoscopic uterine artery occlusion cases alone (Group B). Results: Of these 23 patients with UOA (mean age, 36.7±2.8 years), 10 patients (43.4%) had anastomoses bilaterally and 13 patients (56.6%) had unilateral anastomoses. Mean fibroid size reduction after LUAO and anastomoses blockage was 32.5% from baseline (P
