Abstract

Background

Adenomyomectomy has recently been considered the priority option for the treatment of adenomyosis, however, the surgical efficacy and modes are still debated. We aimed to evaluate the efficacy of laparoscopic adenomyomectomy using a double-flap method for the treatment of uterine diffuse adenomyosis when compared with conventional laparoscopic adenomyomectomy.

Methods

Laparoscopic adenomyomectomy using the conventional method (group A, n = 48) and the double-flap method (group B, n = 46) to treat diffuse uterine adenomyosis, respectively. Visual analog scale (VAS), menstrual amount, serum CA125 levels, and uterine volume were comparatively analyzed in both groups.

Results

The VAS scores, menstrual amount, serum CA125 levels, and uterine volume at 12 or 24 months after surgery significantly reduced in group B than in group A (P < 0.05); these parameters were statistically decreased in both groups after surgery compared with those obtained before surgery (P < 0.001). Moreover, serum CA125 levels and uterine volume at six months of follow up were significantly lower in group B than in group A (P < 0.01). In addition, blood loss during surgery was similar in groups A and B (P > 0.05), although the operative time was significantly longer in group B than that in group A (P < 0.05).

Conclusions

Laparoscopic adenomyomectomy using the double-flap method may be an effective technique to treat uterine diffuse adenomyosis.
