Description
Sojung Kweon and co-authors report early outcomes of uterus sparing surgery for diffuse uterine leiomyomatosis, a condition in which benign growths spread through the womb wall. Patients often want symptom relief without losing fertility. All seventeen patients were treated by one surgeon between twenty eighteen and twenty twenty-one.
The main symptom was heavy bleeding, present in nearly all patients. Surgery averaged about ninety-seven minutes with moderate blood loss, and patients stayed about six and a half days. Over a follow up averaging more than two years, about twenty-nine percent saw the condition return. The authors call the approach a good option for chosen patients. Fertility results need longer study.
