Objective
To compare approaches to myomectomy (laparotomic, laparoscopic, and robotic). To show the relationship between the number of fibroids and the reproduction diagnosis.
Methods
Observational, analytical, retrospective, and cross-sectional study; where the surgical approach used, was evaluated in terms of surgical bleeding, time, number and weight of fibroids and reproductive results.
Results
69 patients were treated through different approaches and divided into 3 groups. The differences found among groups were in favor of laparotomic myomectomy in terms of the number (
p
=0.000) and weight of fibroids (
p
=0.004). Robotic surgery was also longer (
p
=0.000). In the analysis of the influence of the number of fibroids to achieve pregnancy, the result was in favor of the minimally invasive routes, after surgery, both in the group of < 6 fibroids (
p
=0.017), and that of > 6 fibroids (
p
=0.001), without differences in the time from surgery to pregnancy (
p
=0.979).
Conclusions
The surgical approach decision should consider the number and size of resected fibroids, surgical time, and reproductive diagnosis. The minimally invasive route should be offered whenever possible due to its better outcome on achieving pregnancy, without forgetting the benefits of laparotomy, while also accrediting the recently introduced robotic-assisted approach.
Los leiomiomas son el tumor pélvico más común en la mujer, éstos pueden afectar la fertilidad. La miomectomía es el tratamiento de elección en pacientes con leiomiomas sintomáticos y fines reproductivos. Se pueden realizar mediante distintas técnicas, como laparotomía, laparoscópica o asistida por robot. Múltiples estudios pretenden determinar si alguno de estos abordajes resulta superior a otro. Con este estudio se busca obtener información para elegir la mejor vía de abordaje en cada paciente. Objetivo: Describir y comparar tres tipos de abordaje para la realización de miomectomía: Asistida robóticamente, laparoscópica, laparotomía. Determinar si existe superioridad entre los tres diferentes abordajes para miomectomía. Material y métodos: Estudio retrospectivo, analítico y observaciones donde se revisaron 150 casos de miomectomías en sus distintos abordajes realizados en
