Abstract
A 30 year old infertile woman was a candidate for laparoscopic myomectomy. There were two large myomas, 6x7 cm, and 5x6 cm attached to the corpus of the uterus with a broad base. The 6x7 cm one was separated with the use of bipolar coagulation. At this point the anesthesiologist urged that the operation be finished because of cardiac arrhythmia. The separated mass (6x7 cm) was biopsied and left intraabdominally. After surgery, repeated sonographies showed gradual resolution of the mass. Four months afterwards she had another laparoscopy. There was no sign of the 6x7 cm myoma. There were no intraabdominal adhesions. However, there was an adhesion on the uterus at the place of the separation of the 6x7 cm myoma. During the second laparoscopy, the 5x6 cm myoma was separated by laparoscopy and then removed via minilaparotomy.
