Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
The objective of this study is to determine if the use of a new type of barbed suture material for laparoscopic myomectomy (surgical removal of fibroids) versus the traditional approach of suturing with conventional suture material to close the uterine defect once the fibroid has been removed, improves surgical outcomes. Specifically, the investigators will investigate the effect of barbed suture on operative time, blood loss, adverse post-operative events and hospital stay.
