Medicine (Baltimore). 2021 Dec 23;100(51):e28378. doi: 10.1097/MD.0000000000028378.

Abstract

Introduction: Uterine fibroids is a common benign tumor disease of the female reproductive system. The main methods of current clinical treatment of uterine fibroids are conservative treatment and surgical treatment. With the rise of the concept of minimally invasive surgery in gynecology, laparoscopic myomectomy, and vaginal myomectomy have been widely used.

Methods/design: This study plans to retrospectively analyze 150 patients with uterine fibroids. They will be divided into laparoscopic myomectomy, vaginal myomectomy group, and open hysteromyoma resection group. This study will compare the intraoperative blood loss, operation time, postoperative exhaust time, postoperative hospital stay and postoperative complications of different surgical methods.

Discussion: This study will compare the clinical efficacy of these 3 common surgical methods through retrospective medical record analysis, and provide more reliable evidence-based medical evidence for clinical treatment choices.
