There were altogether 749 cases of uterine myomata verified surgically and pathologically in our hospital, in 1985 through 1989, amounting to 10.8% of all the patients admitted to the gynecological ward in the same period of time. All of them had operation varying according to the tumor site, size, number, complication, if present or whether preservation of fertility was desired. These included intraperitoneal total hysterectomy, vaginal total hysterectomy, myomectomy, extraperitoneal hysterectomy, combined vaginal, and abdominal routes for resection of submucous myoma, etc, altogether 7 kinds of operative procedures. Post operative complications rate was 1.1%. It is thought that the therapeutic result and long term outcome are closely related with the choice of operative procedures.
