Hysterectomy for large uterine cervical myoma is a
challenging surgical procedure due to the limited operative field for lateral
and posterior dissections. Existing procedures such as performing myomectomy
before hysterectomy or performing retrograde hysterectomy remain suboptimal in
expanding the operative field, especially in cases with a huge cervical myoma.
In this report, we introduce a new procedure, the “HALF-CUTTING METHOD” which
can be used to obtain an adequate surgical field during hysterectomy.
