A comparative study of prone split-leg position and lithotomy position in posterior uterine myomectomy by transvaginal natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery.

ABSTRACT:

Background

To assess and compare the efficiency and outcomes between prone split-leg position and lithotomy position in posterior uterine myomectomy by transvaginal natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (vNOTES).

Methods

33 patients with posterior uterine myomectomy by vNOTES in the prone split-leg position and 15 patients in the lithotomy position were retrospectively recruited. Important baseline characteristics and outcome parameters such as age, body mass index, volume of myoma, delivery mode, hospital length, intraoperative blood loss, hemoglobin values before and 72 h after operation, VAS score, operation time and operation preparation time were compared between two patient groups.

Results

The operation time of the prone split-leg position group was si
