Abstract: ObjectiveTo explore the effect of vaginal myomectomy and compared with abdominal myomectomy.Methods80 patients with myomectomy were randomly divided into two groups with 40 cases in each group. Patients of the group A were operated by vaginal myomectomy, that of the group B were operated by abdominal myomectomy. Effects of operation and recovery of two groups were compared.ResultsIn the group A, 38 cases (95%) successfully undertook vaginal myomectomy, whereas all 40cases completed the planned surgery in the group B. There were no significant differences on the mean operating time, blood lose during operation, mean maximal postoperative temperature and average postoperative hospital stay between two groups (P>0.05). There was no uterine hematomas developed postoperatively in all patients. The symptoms were mostly relieved after 6 moths'follow-up and patients of the group A showed a rapid recovery time and lower rate of complaints.ConclusionVaginal myomectomy can be performed in selected patients with low complications, good short-term effect, minimum operative injury compared with abdominal myomectomy.
