Abstract
Study Objective
To assess the efficacy and safety of minimally invasive robot-assisted myomectomy in treating a patient with multiple uterine fibroids.
Design
Case report detailing the surgical intervention and outcomes of a patient with symptomatic uterine fibroids.
Setting
Patient in lithotomy position, robot docking at patient pelvic left side, with 3 robotic trocars and one laparoscopic 11mm assistant port.
Patients or Participants
Case report of a 39-year-old woman.
Interventions
The patient underwent treatment with Goserelin acetate to reduce the size of the uterus, followed by minimally invasive robot-assisted myomectomy. During the surgery, uterine arteries and round ligaments were located, clipped, and temporarily clamped to minimize bleeding. Fibroids were meticulously dissected and removed using laparoscopic ultrasound guidance.
Measurements and Main Results
The surgery lasted approximately 3 hours, during which 14 fibroids were removed. Blood loss was minimal, with the patient losing only 100ml. Postoperative recovery was favorable, with the patient experiencing mild abdominal pain and being discharged within 20 hours. Pathology confirmed the removal of all leiomyomas.
Conclusion
Minimally invasive robot-assisted myomectomy, combined with meticulous identification and clipping of uterine arteries, proved effective in reducing uterine size and improving symptoms in this patient with multiple uterine fibroids. This approach offers a promising option for the management of symptomatic fibroids, enhancing patient outcomes and quality of life.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Minimally Invasive Gynecology, formerly titled The Journal of the American Association of Gynecologic Laparoscopists, is an international clinical forum for the exchange and dissemination of ideas, findings and techniques relevant to gynecologic endoscopy and other minimally invasive procedures. The Journal, which presents research, clinical opinions and case reports from the brightest minds in gynecologic surgery, is an authoritative source informing practicing physicians of the latest, cutting-edge developments occurring in this emerging field.
