A Case of a Prolapsing Cervical Fibroid Managed with Robot-Assisted Total Laparoscopic Hysterectomy

Abstract

The development of cervical fibroids is rare, but they are often symptomatic and can be associated with complications such as bleeding, pain, constipation, and prolapse. Necrosed, prolapsing fibroids can lead to massive acute hemorrhage. Treatment is, therefore, typically necessary, but surgical management is frequently technically difficult given distorted anatomy. We present several images of a prolapsing cervical fibroid treated by hysterectomy in a 53-year-old patient.
