ObjectiveTo evaluate the efficacy of myomectomy via transumbilical laparoendompic single-site surgery (TU-LESS) and traditional multiport laparoscopy.MethodsThe study was conducted at Chengdu Western Hospital from June 2019 to June 2020. Fifty patients underwent TU-LESS myomectomy (TU-LESS group), while another 50 patients underwent traditional multiport laparoscopic myomectmy (multiport laparoscopy group). The conditions of operation, extra analgetic usage, VAS grade, and patients’ satisfaction degree were compared between two groups.ResultsPatients in both groups had similar age, BMI, fibroma volume, operative time, expelling gas day, blood loss, complication rate, and hospitalized costs (P>0.05). Compared with traditional multiport laparoscopy, the TU-LESS group resulted in significantly shorter hospitalization day, lower VAS score of the 1st/3nd/7th days after surgery, less use of analgetic after surgery, and higher satisfaction degree.ConclusionsTU-LESS is safe and feasible for myomectomy, and it is associated with less pain, shorter hospitalization day, and higher satisfaction degree.
