A systematic review and meta-analysis comparing single port laparoscopic myomectomy with conventional laparoscopic myomectomy

ConclusionA meta-analysis showed that single port laparoscopic myomectomy is comparable to conventional laparoscopic myomectomy in terms of safety and feasibility and more advantageous in terms of immediate postoperative pain. If performed based on the appropriate patient selection criteria including size and number of myoma, single port laparoscopic myomectomy can have similar surgical outcomes to those of conventional laparoscopic myomectomy. Further research and resources are required to identify whether single port laparoscopic myomectomy is more beneficial in terms of cosmetic results, patient satisfaction, and pregnancy outcomes.
