Guest guest Posted December 18, 1999 Report Share Posted December 18, 1999 Of 38 women with recurrent myoma, however, only 14 (36.8%) required additional surgery. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Out of one of the abstracts I posted previously I forgot to point something out. The statistic of 36.8% (above -- directly quoted from the abstract) is in reference ONLY to the percentage of women with recurring fibroids who required additional surgery. NOT the overall percentage of women who actually underwent laparoscopic myomectomy. Out of 114 women in this study, 14 requiring additional surgery does NOT represent 36.8% of the total. Only ~12% of all women undergoing laparoscopic myomectomy in this study required additional surgery for their recurrent fibroids. Not far from the 10% I posted previously.
