OBJECTIVE We use a non-surgical endoloop snare technique to remove prolapsed pedunculated submucous uterine myomas under the concept that ligating the pedicle causes tumor necrosis and natural elimination of the tumor. We evaluated our method on the basis of clinical outcomes. METHODS For pertinent clinical data, we reviewed the hospital records of 11 patients treated by our new method between July 2009 and 2010 and followed up for 22-31 months. RESULTS Patients' mean age was 40.9 years, and the mean hemoglobin level was 10.6 g/dl. None required urgent hospitalization, blood transfusion, or laparotomy. The tumors were eliminated naturally or removed by cutting necrotic pedicle within 4-11 days. One patient required a second endoloop application. Another one patient required follow-up surgery for a second submucous myoma, adenomyosis, and persistent hypermenorrhea. CONCLUSIONS Endoloop ligation is feasible for eliminating prolapsed pedunculated submucous myoma. It is simple and safe and can be performed in the outpatient setting.
