Clinical comparison of laparoscopic and open surgical approaches for uterus-preserving myomectomy: a retrospective analysis on patient-reported outcome, postoperative morbidity and pregnancy outcomes
Both open and laparoscopic myomectomy surgeries showed high patient satisfaction, symptom alleviation, and comparable pregnancy results. A preference emerged for laparoscopy in terms of cesarean section recommendations and recurrence risk. Laparoscopic procedures tended to offer higher operative satisfaction and fewer complications. The study emphasized the complexity of therapeutic decision-making.
