Chain removal of myomata by colpotomy

Abstract

Multiple myomectomy was performed in 67 women between June 1996 and July 1998. In almost every case, myomas were sutured one to another with a single stitch of 1 silk, forming a chain, and taken out through the vaginal cul-de-sac. We believe this method reduces the risk of losing myomas inside the peritoneal cavity and shortens operating time. (J Am Assoc Gynecol Laparosc 6(3):337-338, 1999)
