About this study

Official title: Prospective Randomized Controlled Trial to Analyze the Benefits of Single Port Laparoscopic Myomectomy in the View of Cosmetics and Patient Satisfaction

This study is about the evaluation of which benefits single port laparoscopic myomectomy has in the perspective of cosmetics and patient satisfaction.

Read the detailed description

There were several studies about feasibility and cosmetic benefit of single port laparoscopic adnexal surgery and hysterectomy compared to conventional multiport laparoscopic surgery. Meanwhile, no study mentioned benefit of single port laparoscopic surgery in myomectomy because single port myomectomy needs more labor and operator's skill than other pelvic surgery. At this point, the investigators need to verify the effectiveness and benefit of single port laparoscopic myomectomy.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Cosmetic benefits of single port laparoscopic myomectomy to conventional myomectomy in the view of scar evaluation

    The characteristics of scar such as color, pliability, and stiffness are willing to be measured in 1 week and 8 week later after myomectomy. The level of satisfaction of patients will also be evaluated.

    Measured: for 8 weeks

  2. Cosmetic benefits of single port laparoscopic myomectomy to conventional myomectomy in the view of patient satisfaction

    Patient satisfaction about scar formation after myomectomy are willing to be evaluated after surgery.

    Measured: for 8 weeks

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. General composite characteristics of surgery procedure and outcome

    Composite parameters about surgery outcome and complication such as Op time, Drop of Hb, postop pain, duration of hospital stay, intraop complication, postop complication are willing to be measured.

    Measured: 1 week
