Key clinical point: Enucleation of submucous uterine fibroids (UF) under hysteroscopy can be achieved by a modified resectoscopic slicing using a bipolar loop, which appeared safe and faster compared with classical resectoscopic myomectomy.
Major finding: Mean operation time (22.9 minutes vs 38.9 minutes; P < .001) and volume of mean distending media (1,495.6 mL vs 2,393.1 mL; P < .001) were significantly shorter in the modified vs classical resectoscopic slicing group. The classical group witnessed 3 cases of fluid overload and 1 case of uterine perforation, whereas none of these postoperative complications occurred in the modified technique group.
Study details: Findings are from a retrospective study including 55 women with submucous UFs, of which 19 women underwent modified resectoscopic slicing and 36 women underwent the classical resectoscopic myomectomy.
Disclosures: This study was funded by Shanghai Municipal Health Commission, China. The authors declared no conflict of interests.
