Abstract
Vaginal removal of submucous fibroids was attempted in 92 patients. The procedure, successful in 83 cases, involved dilation of the cervix with laminaria tents and removal of the submucous fibroid by grasping with appropriate instruments. Myomas were successfully removed in 90% of the patients and hysterectomy or myomectomy were avoided in 88%. Morbidity was minimal.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
