Laparoscopic myomectomy with the endo stitch 10-mm laparoscopic suturing device

Abstract

Three women experienced bleeding, pain, and pressure symptoms attributable to uterine myomas. Because they were not responsive to conservative therapy, they underwent outpatient laparoscopic myomectomy after 3 months of gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist administration. The Endo Stitch 10-mm laparoscopic suturing device was used to close the uterus with interrupted and continuous locked sutures. The instrument shortened the operative time by approximately 40 minutes.
