Abstract

The management of symptomatic uterine fibroids during pregnancy is a challenging situation. In some cases, surgical therapy can be required. Reports indicate that both laparotomy and laparoscopy are safe methods. However, laparoscopy is associated with less morbidity. This paper describes the case of a 31-year-old woman with a symptomatic uterine fibroid which was removed by gasless laparoscopy.
