Under the guidance of hysteroscopy combined with methotrexate, the scraping of the uterus was done and operation successfully completed. The management of this case showed that hysteroscopy was a kind of valuable approach to the diagnosis and treatment of uterine diverticulum and curettage of the uterus under hysteroscope combined with drug was a safe, effective and conservative treatment.展开更多

Materials and methods. A retrospective study was carried out in 74 patients with fibroids >3cm from March, 1995 until May,2000 at PUMC Hospital. Indications for surgery were symptomatic fibroids（ 20 cases） , mainly pain or urine frequency； progressively increasing fibroid size (7 cases)； coexistent adnexal pathology（ 26 cases） and infertility（ 21 cases） . Results. The number of fibroids of each patient varied from 1 to 4 with single fibroid of 62 cases (83.7％ ).The fibroids were located in anterior wall (30 cases), posterior wall (23 cases) and fundus (21 cases). A total of 93 fibroids were removed from these patients including 16 intramural fibroids and 77 subserous fibroids. The size of dominant fibroids ranged from 3～ 8 cm (mean 4.8 cm). In 19 cases (25.6％ ),the uterine wall was sutured in one layer. Mean duration of operation was 73 minutes and mean blood loss was 82 ml. Longer operating time and more blood loss were observed in patients with fibroids≥ 4cm than those with fibroids < 4cm. The difference was statistically significant (P< 0.05). Mean postoperative hospital stay was 3.2 days and overall complication rate was 1.4％ . The average postoperative follow- up period was 22 months (1～ 62 months). All the patients with symptoms showed remission of their complaints at 2- month follow- up. Recurrence of fibroid occurred in 1 case 1 year after initial operation and second laparoscopic myomectomy was given to her successfully. Five patients became pregnant. The pregnancy was uneventful and proceeded to selective caesarean section at term pregnancy in 4 cases. One miscarriage occured at 8 weeks in the 5th case. No adhesions at myomectomy site were found in these 5 patients. Conclusions. Our study suggests the feasibility of laparoscopic myomectomy in selected patients, which leads to effectiveness, low complication rate and satisfactory remission of symptoms. Further study on recurrence and fertility must be continued.展开更多

Laparoscopic resection of uterine mass lesion is rarely used in gestational choriocarcinoma diagnosis because of the fear of heavy blood loss and distant metastasis. Five patients who were preoperatively diagnosed as having cornual pregnancy underwent laparoscopic resection of mass lesion and then proved to have gestational choriocarcinoma based on pathological examinations. Chemotherapy was started within two days after surgery, and the rate of complete remission was 100%. The mean follow-up time was 29.8±19.1 months, and no patient showed signs of relapse. Laparoscopic resection of uterine mass followed by timely postoperative chemotherapy may be an effective and safe way to obtain pathologic results in patients with suspected gestational choriocarcinoma.展开更多
