This video demonstrates Laparoscopic Myomectomy for Intramural Fibroid using Baseball Suturing by Dr. R K Mishra at World Laparoscopy Hospital.
The ‘baseball’ suture technique for closure of the uterine incision is a safe and effective method for use in laparoscopic myomectomy. Uterine leiomyoma (fibroid) is the most common benign tumor in the reproductive system of women of childbearing age, with a prevalence of between 30–35%. Myomectomy is the treatment of choice for women who have symptoms and who wish to preserve their future fertility. During the last two decades, there have been rapid developments in minimally invasive surgical methods for myomectomy, and currently, a variety of endoscopic techniques are now used, including laparoscopy, hysteroscopy, and robotic-assisted surgery.
