We reported an initial result of the safety and efficacy of myomectomies performed between September 1994 and June 1997 by the hysteroscopic resectoscope in 50 @entity1 at Ramathibodi Hospital. The indications for hysteroscopy and/or hysteroscopic myomectomy were @entity931 in 23, @entity1867 in 3, menometrorrhagia in 2, @entity249 with abnormal uterine @entity548 in 12, abnormal uterine @entity548 during hormonal replacement therapy (HRT) in 4, and suspected @entity1868 detected by ultrasonography and/or sonohysterography in 6 @entity1 . The mean age of the 50 @entity1 was 39.5 years with a range of 26 to 66 years. The sizes of the @entity1868 ranged from 1-5 cm. The mean of operation time was 32 minutes (range 15-60 minutes). The mean volume of 1.5 per cent @entity2228 required for irrigation was 800 with a range of 600-2000 ml, and the mean deficit at the end of the operation was 300 with a range of 200-1000 ml. The mean estimation of @entity190 during the operation was 80 ml with a range of 50-200 ml. Postoperatively 28 out of 30 @entity1 with @entity931 had improvement in excessive @entity548 (93.33%). One @entity1 underwent subsequent hysterectomy due to persistent heavy uterine @entity548 from recurrent @entity1868 . All @entity1 with @entity249 and @entity1 under HRT had normal menstruation after this procedure. 2 out of 12 (16.67%) @entity1 with @entity249 became pregnant after submucous resection. No serious complications occurred. One @entity1 had a @entity3799 repaired by simple stitches. One @entity1 had mild @entity7288 responding to outpatient antibiotics. Forty-eight @entity1 were discharged from hospital the day after the operation, the remaining two staying overnight for observing @entity548 . Our data suggested that resectoscopic myomectomy is a safe and effective surgical procedure. The procedure offers the advantage to the @entity1 of a shorter hospital stay along with a low complication rate. The hysteroscopic approach to the symptomatic @entity1868 has dramatically changed the treatment options for @entity1 who classically would be offered abdominal myomectomy or hysterectomy.
