Hysteroscopic Management of Large Symptomatic Submucous Uterine Myomas

Hysteroscopic myomectomy can be the treatment of choice in symptomatic patients with a submucous myoma with diameter of 6 cm or less. Although this technique raises the possibility that complete resection may require 2 surgical sessions, it is a feasible surgical procedure. However, for myomas 6 cm or larger in diameter, this approach is less attractive. Nevertheless, we believe that all of the limiting criteria defined in the available literature should be evaluated individually, bearing in mind each patient's particular condition and the surgeon's experience and skill.
