BACKGROUND: We assessed the results and impact of blockage of utero-ovarian anastomoses (UOA) on clinical outcome in women treated by laparoscopic uterine artery occlusion for uterine fibroids. METHODS: Between 2004 and 2005, we prospectively analyzed the clinical data for 23 laparoscopic uterine artery occlusion cases combined with blockage of utero-ovarian anastomoses (Group A) and 67 laparoscopic uterine artery occlusion cases alone (Group B). RESULTS: Of these 23 patients with UOA (mean age, 36.7+/-2.8 years), 10 patients (43.4%) had anastomoses bilaterally and 13 patients (56.6%) had unilateral anastomoses. Mean fibroid size reduction after LUAO and anastomoses blockage was 32.5% from baseline (P<0.001). In patients with LUAO, the mean DF size after surgery was estimated at 38.7+/-19.2 mm, which translated to a mean fibroid size reduction of 30.6% from baseline (P<0.001). No case of clinical failure or recurrence was found in Group A patients with UOA (mean follow-up, 15.6 months), who were treated with combined surgery. At a mean clinical follow-up of 18.2 months (Group B), 6 patients (8.9%) elected to undergo further surgical intervention for clinical failure and recurrence, including 4 myomectomies and 2 hysterectomies. The statistical difference between groups was not significant (P=0.33). CONCLUSION: Laparoscopic blockage of utero-ovarian anastomoses combined with uterine artery occlusion is a safe, feasible surgical procedure in women with symptomatic fibroids. Combining the uterine artery occlusion and blockage of UO anastomoses may be a useful procedure for the decreasing rate of clinical failure and recurrence. This premise should be confirmed in a larger prospective multicenter study.

OBJECTIVE: To assess pregnancy outcomes and deliveries after laparoscopic uterine artery transsection (LTUV) in symptomatic women with fibroids. SETTING: Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Endoscopic Training Center, Baby Friendly Hospital, Kladno, Czech Republic. DESIGN: One hundred and fifty three patients underwent laparoscopic transsection of uterine vessels during a 4-year period. RESULTS: Nine of the 21 women desiring pregnancy conceived spontaneously and one after anovulation treatment. The average age of the women was 32.4 years, and the range was 26-39 years. Two women had vaginal delivery at term and one delivered vaginally at 31 weeks secondary to premature preterm rupture of membrane (PROM). Four others delivered at term by cesarean section. One woman with placenta previa was delivered by cesarean section 3 weeks before term. Mean birth weight was 3199 g (range 1710-3910 g). One spontaneous abortion was reported in the first trimester of pregnancy. One case of undesired pregnancy occurred. An extrauterine pregnancy was reported in this woman. CONCLUSION: LTUV is a minimally invasive operative procedure, that preserves the uterus and ovarian blood supply and allows for the achievement of pregnancy in women with symptomatic fibroids. Fetal growth and umbilical Doppler findings remained normal in all cases. An increased risk for preterm delivery and cesarean section was found in this small series.

AIM: To determine the frequency and severity of complications and the recurrence of fibroids as a result of laparoscopic occlusion of the uterine artery (LOUA) in women with symptomatic fibroids. METHODS: One hundred and fourteen women with symptomatic fibroids were treated using ultrasonically activated shears, clips or electrosurgery. A retrospective evaluation of the complications and recurrence rate was carried out. For each patient, the analysis took place at least 3 months after the procedure was performed. Each complication was categorized using the complication classifications developed by the Czech Society of Gynecologic Endoscopy and a modified set of the classifications of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists. All adverse events that occurred during the follow-up period were included, in addition to those that occurred after the 3 months minimum interval. RESULTS: A total of eight women (7.1%, 95% confidence intervals [CI], 3.3-14.4) experienced complications; one of these women had two complications, resulting in a total of nine adverse events. There were no intraoperative complications and no permanent injuries. Two women required supracervical hysterectomy and myomectomy, respectively, as a result of fibroid necrosis. One patient had an undiagnosed endometrial stromal sarcoma after 12 months of LOUA. The rate of fibroid recurrence was 9.0% (10 patients). The recurrence-free survival interval rate (no clinical failure, no recurrence) at 23.6 months (median) follow-up was 88.3% (CI 84.9-93.5). CONCLUSION: The rate of complications and fibroid recurrence was low in patients undergoing LOUA.

BACKGROUND: We assessed the results and impact of lateral uterine artery dissection on clinical outcome following laparoscopic myomectomy. METHODS: We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data for 27 laparoscopic myomectomy cases (Group I) and 54 laparoscopic myomectomy cases combined with lateral uterine artery dissection (Group II) between January 2001 and August 2004 in one center. Only 81 patients who had dominant fibroids between 4 cm and 10 cm in diameter were included in the study. We assessed the clinical outcomes: perioperative blood loss, operating time, hospital stay, complications, hemoglobin decrease, inflammatory response, and tissue markers (C-reactive protein, white blood cells, creatinine kinase) changes. RESULTS: The mean operating time was 70.37 minutes in group I and 78.61 minutes in group II. The mean length of hospital stay was 2.7 days versus 2.2 days, respectively (P>0.05). The difference in intraoperative blood loss was 70.1 mL (147.7 mL vs 77.3 mL, Group I) and 33.9 mL (105 mL vs 71.1 mL, Group II); estimated postoperative blood loss was statistically significant (P<0.001, P<0.05, respectively). Group 2 demonstrated a less intense stress response in C-reactive protein (P<0.001) and white blood cell count (P<0.05). CONCLUSION: The dissection of the uterine artery in laparoscopic myomectomy is a feasible operative procedure with a low rate of complications. The procedure reduced perioperative blood loss and resulted in significant improvement in fibroid-related symptoms.

BACKGROUND: This study aimed to assess laparoscopic dissection of uterine vessels (LDUV) for symptomatic fibroids in women. METHODS: A total of 69 women entered the study between March 2000 and June 2003. In this case series, 68 consecutive women underwent LDUV using ultrasonically activated sheers or electrosurgery for the treatment of fibroids over 3 years (median follow-up period, 14.5 months). Ultrasound or magnetic resonance imaging was carried out 3, 6, 12, 24, and 36 months after treatment. The tissue markers, gonadotropin, and estrogen levels were studied postoperatively. RESULTS: Almost all the patients (98.5%) had a successful LDUV with a low rate (7.3%) of postoperative complications. The time of surgery ranged from 15 to 50 min (mean, 30.8 min). The blood loss was minimal (mean, 14.7 ml), and the hospital stay was 2.4 days. Symptom improvement (menorrhagia or dysmenorrhoea) was 93.2%, and the average reduction in the dominant myoma was 57.8% during a follow-up period longer than 12 months. All the patients with anemia had normal red cell counts after 3 months. CONCLUSIONS: Uterine volume and the dominant fibroid were significantly reduced and symptoms were improved by LDUV. The laparoscopic procedure is associated with insignificant tissue damage and normal gonadotropin and estrogen levels.
