About 15-20% of the time uterine surgery via laparotomy is replaced in our department by operative pelviscopy. Of these, in reference to myoma surgery, about 70% were tackled with operative pelviscopy and a laparotomy was avoided. This allows the preservation of the uterus, especially for those women who desire to bear children in the future. Organ-preserving, minimally invasive surgery is the current accepted operative ideal. Postoperative sequelae like adhesion formation, subacute intestinal obstruction, and chronic abdominal pain are thus decreased. The importance of correct and safely functioning equipment and instruments cannot be overstressed for optimal results. A closed drain, i.e., the Robinson drainage system, can be kept in place for at least 12-24 h to check the postoperative ooze. In two cases of extensive ooze, repeat pelviscopy was performed within 12 h and hemostasis was achieved by the use of endosutures and endocoagulation.
