Uterine fibroids are the most common benign neoplasm of the female reproductive
tract with the estimated incidence of 25-30% at reproductive age. Patients generally

have no symptoms however patients those have symptoms such as severe pelvic pain, heavy uterine bleeding or infertility may undergo surgery. The traditional management is surgery however uterine artery embolization, hormonal therapy using GnRH (Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone) agonists or SERM (Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulator) should be preferred as the medical approach.

Surgical management should be performed via laparoscopy or laparotomy however laparoscopic myomectomy is being a debate at patients with huge myomas. Difficulties at excision, removal and the repair of myometrial defect, increased operative time and blood loss keep the physicians away from laparoscopic

myomectomy.
Case report
A 40-year-old gravida 0 para 0 woman was admitted to our clinic with the complaint of chronic pelvic pain, dyspareunia and infertility. Past history was unremarkable. At ultrasonographic examination, a 14* 10 cm fibroid settled on the cervical region was detected. On bimanual exam, an immobile solid mass originated from uterine cervix and filling the pouche of douglas was palpated. The patient was informed of the findings and was recommended laparoscopic myomectomy because of her fertility desire. At abdominopelvic examination, a huge fibroid fulfilled and enlarged the cervix was observed. A myomectomy was performed using the standard technique as
ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT described elsewhere. A transvers incision was made by harmonic scalpel. The myoma was fixed with corkscrew and was enucleated. After bleeding control the myoma bed was filled with spongostanTM in order to prevent possible bleeding like leakage. Due to the anatomical structure of cervical region, the incision was closed monolayer with ‘0’ vicryl. The total intraoperative blood loss was 300 mL, the total weight of myoma

was 670 g and the operation was lasted about 140 minutes. There was no intraoperative complication. She was discharged at postoperative 1st day and did not experience any problems at fallow up. The final histopathological

examination confirmed the diagnosis of uterine leiomyoma.

Conclusion
In conclusion, laparoscopic management of huge fibroids at difficult locations such as cervical region seems to be a safe and feasible option especially in the experienced hands.
