Results: Conventional slicing technique had longer operative time than slice and excise technique with a statistically significant difference p<0.05. In 3/17(17.6%) of conventional slicing technique, incomplete surgery with a second session was needed. In one case of slice and excise technique 1/19 (5%), complete myomectomy wasn’t achieved in one session. Operative time was significantly shorte...
