ObjectiveTo evaluate the differences in the intraoperative blood loss during laparoscopic myomectomy with or without uterine artery clipping (UAC).MethodsFrom January 2013 to April 2015, we enrolled prospectively 119 women with symptomatic intramural myomas who were scheduled to undergo laparoscopic myomectomy (37 with UAC (study group) and 82 without (control group)).ResultsCharacteristics of the myomas, operating time, duration of hospital stay and blood loss were comparable between the two groups. The average operating time and blood loss were 75 +/- 11 minutes and 100 +/- 20 ml for the experimental group and 60 +/- 9 minutes and 178 +/- 56 ml for the control group respectively statistically significant.ConclusionConcurrent UAC during laparoscopic myomectomy reduces the intraoperative blood loss and the frequency of excessive bleeding. This study demonstrated the superiority of laparoscopic uterine artery ligation combined with myomectomy in treatment of symptomatic myomas.
