Comparison Between Laparoendoscopic Single-site Surgery and Multi-port Laparoscopy in Treating Uterine Fibroids

Comparison of Operational Outcomes and Long-term Benefits Between Laparoendoscopic Single-site Surgery and Multi-port Laparoscopy in Treating Uterine Fibroids

Myomectomy was preferably applied in females with reproductive requirements, which could be achieved by transumbilical laparoendoscopic single-site surgery (TU-LESS) or multi-port laparoscopic surgery (MPLS). Power morcellation used in MPLS was correlated with unidentified risk of tumor dissemination, especially in cases with accidental surgical findings of uterine sarcoma or leiomyosarcoma. Moreover, TU-LESS was reported to exceed MPLS in fast recovery. Therefore, the aim of this prospective cohort study is to compare the effectiveness of fast recovery and relative risk of tumor dissemination between TU-LESS and MPLS in myomectomy for the treatment of uterine fibroids.

Inclusion Criteria:

• diagnosed with uterine fibroids before surgery on the basis of radiological or other examinations
• will consider TU-LESS or MPLS for myomectomy

Exclusion Criteria:

• patients reluctant to long-term follow-up
