Transcervical intralesional vasopressin injection in hysteroscopic myomectomy--description of a new technique.

摘要

An original technique of transcervical intralesional vasopressin injection that allowed direct infiltration to submucous myomas under hysteroscopic control is described. Five patients with a symptomatic submucous myoma 1.5-5 cm in size scheduled for hysteroscopic myomectomy were recruited. The time required for vasopressin injection was less than 3 minutes in all cases. The time required for myomectomy ranged from 3 to 32 minutes. Four cases had no fluid absorption, whereas 1 had absorption of 1000 mL. The patient with the longest operative time and fluid absorption had multiple submucous myomas, including a large G2 myoma of 5 cm. All cases had complete excision without complication. The surgeons rated the operations as having minimal bleeding and excellent clarity. Transcervical intralesional vasopressin injection is a potentially simple, quick, and feasible method to facilitate complete resection of submucous myomas in hysteroscopic myomectomy.
