Overview
Brief Summary
The aim of this study is to compare the surgical outcomes and efficacy of 3-dimensional (3D) versus 2-dimensional (2D) imaging systems in laparoscopic myomectomy..
Detailed Description
Laparoscopy is founded as a treatment of choice for benign uterine disease. The advantages of laparoscopic surgery over conventional open surgery are less pain, shorter recovery time, shorter hospital stay, and consequently faster return to normal activity as well as better cosmetic effects. However, laparoscopic surgery is more demanding compared with open surgery because operators should project three-dimensional (3D) field through a two-dimensional (2D) monitor. However, to date, studies examining the possible benefits and drawbacks of 3D imaging system versus 2D in laparoscopic surgery have brought about conflicting results. Moreover, there have been few studies comparing the surgical outcomes of 3D and 2D laparoscopic laparoscopic myomectomy. The aim of this study is to compare the surgical outcomes and efficacy of 3-dimensional (3D) versus 2-dimensional (2D) imaging systems in laparoscopic myomectomy..

Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria
- •Uterine myoma requiring laparoscopic myomectomy
- •American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status (ASAPS) classification I-II
- •absence of pregnancy at the time of surgery.
Exclusion Criteria
- •any suspicious findings of malignant gynecologic diseases,
Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Amount of operative blood loss
Time Frame: At the time of surgery
Amount of operative blood loss was measured by the anesthesiologists after defining it as the difference between the total amount of suction and irrigation plus the difference between the total gauze weight before and after surgery.
Secondary Outcomes
- Operative time(At the day of surgery)
