A 47-year-old woman surnamed Wang suffered from excessive menstrual blood and menstrual pain, a few days ago to Yadong Hospital Obstetrics and Gynecology, the examination found that she suffered from uterine fibroids, resulting in physiological abnormalities, uterine contractions of abnormal pain, and after communicating with the final decision to a single-hole laparoscopic surgery to remove the uterine fibroids, effectively improving the symptoms of abdominal pain.

Attending physician of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at Yadong Hospital, Dr. Zhuang Yizhen, pointed out that uterine fibroids are the most common genital tumors in women, which cause abnormal menstruation, excessive bleeding, and frequent urination caused by bladder compression, and even infertility and other symptoms; in China, about 40% of women in their reproductive years suffer from uterine fibroids, and 25% of these patients have symptoms of varying degrees of severity, and these patients, once they need to be treated, usually use open surgery to deal with them. The first thing you need to do is to use an incision to treat the tumor.

Traditional laparoscopic surgery requires three or four wounds, while minimally invasive single-port surgery utilizes a three-dimensional spatial concept, which is a more mature technology. The advantages of laparoscopic surgery are a significant improvement in the degree of pain in the wounds, a quicker recovery, shorter hospitalization, and the aesthetics that are of greatest concern to women. However, more recently, single-port laparoscopic surgery has become available with fewer wounds and faster recovery.

In the case of uterine fibroids, for example, traditional surgery requires a cut in the patient's abdomen of at least 8 to 10 centimeters, and hospitalization for about 5 days after surgery, often leaving permanent scars; the newer single-port laparoscopic surgery, single-incision wounds are only in the navel up and down and then extend some of the almost invisible wounds, but also effective in slowing down the pain, and almost every other day after the surgery can be discharged from hospital, and the operation time is also shorter.

At present, the gynecological medical team of Yadong Hospital, most of them have entered the era of minimally invasive surgery, most of the uterine fibroadenomas or ovarian tumors, etc. can be carried out using single-port laparoscopic surgery. Therefore, benign gynecological tumors are still the main cause, and if it is a malignant tumor or serious adhesion in the abdominal cavity, traditional caesarean section surgery is still recommended.
