Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To describe our initial experience with single-port laparoscopic myomectomy (SP-LM) using transumbilical GelPort access and the surgical technique used, and to evaluate the safety and feasibility of this procedure. STUDY DESIGN: A prospective observational study was performed at a university teaching hospital from January 2009 to December 2009. Fifteen patients with symptomatic subserosal or superficial intramural myomas (</=8cm) underwent SP-LM. RESULTS: The mean age and body mass index were 35.0+/-8.6 years and 22.6+/-2.6kg/m(2). Two patients had a history of previous abdominal surgery, consisting of one and two cesarean deliveries. The mean operating time, hemoglobin change, return of bowel activity, and length of hospital stay were 81+/-21.5min, 1.1+/-0.5g/dL, 34.3+/-5.9h, and 3.1+/-0.5 days, respectively. In one patient (6.7%), SP-LM was converted to two-port LM. There were no surgical or wound complications in any patient, and the histopathological result was leiomyoma in all the cases. CONCLUSION: SP-LM is feasible in selected patients with symptomatic myoma. Copyright © 2010. Published by Elsevier Ireland Ltd.
