Abstract
Study Objective
Demonstrate the safety and feasibility of a robotic approach to fertility sparing management of large broad ligament fibroid.
Design
Case presentation.
Setting
Academic tertiary care center.
Patients or Participants
37 year-old G1P0 with a large uterine mass, suspected to be a fibroid, presented desiring fertility sparing surgical management after a failed exploratory laparotomy myomectomy. MRI showed a large 15 cm mass in the right broad ligament.
Interventions
Preoperative management with uterine artery embolization. Robotic assisted laparoscopic myomectomy.
Measurements and Main Results
The fibroid was removed robotically with EBL of <50cc. A postoperative hysterosalpingogram showing intact uterine cavity and patent fallopian tubes.
Conclusion
Minimally invasive surgery is feasible for large broad ligament fibroids. Consideration of preoperative interventions with a multidisciplinary team, like UAE with interventional radiology, may optimize surgical outcomes. A second opinion by minimally invasive gynecologic surgeons can provide the option for fertility sparing surgery when it is not initially offered.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Minimally Invasive Gynecology, formerly titled The Journal of the American Association of Gynecologic Laparoscopists, is an international clinical forum for the exchange and dissemination of ideas, findings and techniques relevant to gynecologic endoscopy and other minimally invasive procedures. The Journal, which presents research, clinical opinions and case reports from the brightest minds in gynecologic surgery, is an authoritative source informing practicing physicians of the latest, cutting-edge developments occurring in this emerging field.
