ObjectiveThis study was performed to compare the clinical outcomes, advantages, and disadvantages of laparoscopic myomectomy (LM) and transcervical resection of myoma (TCRM) in the treatment of type II submucous myoma.MethodsIn total, 136 patients with type II submucous myoma with a tumour diameter of 4 to 5 cm were randomly assigned to the hysteroscopy group or laparoscopy group.ResultsThe operative duration was shorter and the intraoperative bleeding volume was lower in the hysteroscopy than laparoscopy group. The success rate of the single-stage operation was obviously higher in the laparoscopy than hysteroscopy group. The duration of postoperative antibiotic use and the length of hospital stay were shorter in the hysteroscopy than laparoscopy group. The time to complete healing of the muscle layer was shorter in the hysteroscopy than laparoscopy group. The rate of intraoperative complications was lower in the hysteroscopy than laparoscopy group.ConclusionBoth hysteroscopic and laparoscopic surgery have beneficial effects in the treatment of type II submucous myoma. Hysteroscopic surgery has the advantages of a short operative duration, low intraoperative bleeding volume, fast postoperative recovery, and high quality of life. Laparoscopic surgery involves many intraoperative complications and slow recovery of ovarian function.
