Laparoscopy
Conditions
Brief summary
The aim of this study is to compare the surgical outcomes and efficacy of 3-dimensional (3D) versus 2-dimensional (2D) imaging systems in laparoscopic myomectomy..
Detailed description
Laparoscopy is founded as a treatment of choice for benign uterine disease. The advantages of laparoscopic surgery over conventional open surgery are less pain, shorter recovery time, shorter hospital stay, and consequently faster return to normal activity as well as better cosmetic effects. However, laparoscopic surgery is more demanding compared with open surgery because operators should project three-dimensional (3D) field through a two-dimensional (2D) monitor. However, to date, studies examining the possible benefits and drawbacks of 3D imaging system versus 2D in laparoscopic surgery have brought about conflicting results. Moreover, there have been few studies comparing the surgical outcomes of 3D and 2D laparoscopic laparoscopic myomectomy. The aim of this study is to compare the surgical outcomes and efficacy of 3-dimensional (3D) versus 2-dimensional (2D) imaging systems in laparoscopic myomectomy..
Interventions
PROCEDURE3D laparoscope
For laparoscopic camera system, a 10-mm ENDOEYE FLEX 3D Deflectable Videoscope (Olympus Corp., Germany) was used in the 3D group.
PROCEDURE2D laparoscope
For laparoscopic camera system, a 10-mm 30º IDEAL EYES Laparoscope (Stryker, Kalamazoo, MI, USA) camera was used in the 2D group.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Amount of operative blood loss | At the time of surgery | Amount of operative blood loss was measured by the anesthesiologists after defining it as the difference between the total amount of suction and irrigation plus the difference between the total gauze weight before and after surgery. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Operative time | At the day of surgery | Operative time was defined as the time from incision to closure of the skin. |
