J Minim Invasive Gynecol. 2005 Jul-Aug;12(4):372-3. doi: 10.1016/j.jmig.2005.05.002.

Abstract

We report on an uncommon postoperative complication of vaginal hysterectomy--a remaining myoma--diagnosed and treated by laparoscopy. This procedure was performed for a remaining myoma 3 months after vaginal hysterectomy for fibroid uterus. Laparoscopy may be helpful to diagnose and treat this complication.
