Uterine fibroids: Outcomes of 3D vs 2D laparoscopic myomectomy

Key clinical point: Three-dimensional (3D) laparoscopic myomectomy for uterine fibroids has no additional surgical benefit compared with conventional two-dimensional (2D) laparoscopic myomectomy.

Major finding: There were no significant differences between the 3D and 2D groups in terms of operative blood loss (P = .421), change in serum hemoglobin levels (P = .553), and operative time (P = .344).

Study details: In a randomized controlled trial, 64 patients with symptomatic uterine fibroids were assigned either to 3D (n=32) or 2D (n=32) laparoscopic myomectomy.
