1. 1. The uterine fibroid is a benign neoplasm, and its mere presence should be no cause for surgery. 2. 2. Only incontrovertible reasons, such as hemorrhage, pain, pressure symptoms, signs of tumor degeneration, rapid growth, interference with the pregnant states, cosmetic, and marital purposes should indicate surgical intervention. 3. 3. Myomectomy, even multiple, whereby endocrine balance, menstruation, and reproductive possibility are preserved, should be preferable to hysterectomy. 4. 4. The preoperative, operative, and postoperative preparation, technique, and care, respectively, as herein outlined, have enabled us to perform successfully 900 consecutive myomectomies for the interstitial and submucous types of fibroids with complete control and/or prevention of infection. 5. 5. The objections by opponents of myomectomy such as hemorrhage, infection, adhesions, and tumor recurrence have been effectively overcome in our procedures. 6. 6. This paper is presented with the hope that the widespread use of myomectomy, as described, will merit its recognition as the procedure of choice in the surgical treatment of uterine fibroids.
