    Abstract:
    Between 1988 and 1991, 39 patients with intrauterine submucous fibroids were treated at the University of Düsseldorf, Department of Gynaecology and Obstetrics, by hysteroscopic resection. Myoma diameter ranged from 1 cm to 6 cm with a median of 2.6 cm. 29 patients had bleeding problems in form of meno-metrorrhagia; 14 patients suffered from infertility, 2 patients were treated by combined transabdominal-transcervical approach because of multiple myomata. One severe intraoperative complication occurred as an uterine perforation with injury to the small bowel. No other complication was seen. All patients with bleeding problems returned to normal menses after the operation. Four women became pregnant, one had an early abortion, one an ectopic pregnancy, two women delivered at term. Hysterectomy could be avoided in all cases.
