Abstract
Modern surgical technologies allow gynecologists to treat most submucosal myomas hysteroscopically by some form of resection. What appears on imaging or direct visualization to be a submucosal myoma can be a single tumor, or may represent multiple smaller myomas appearing as one, compacted together in a typical pseudo capsule. During myoma resection, the effect of the media used to induce distension can vary, depending on the morphology of the myomas. After starting resection, the pressure of the distending media can push truly solitary myomas to somewhat flatten against the uterine wall. However, in the second type of myoma, the fluid can displace the myomas into the uterine cavity, an appearance similar to the blooming of a flower. The tip of the hysteroscope may enter the dissected spaces between the myomas, which impairs the panoramic view. This phenomenon may cause inadequate treatment of the myomas encountered during hysteroscopic myomectomy. In this study, the “Blooming phenomenon” is introduced, and the problems created by this phenomenon and solutions for its management are considered.
