Surgical management of broad ligament fibroids

Although broad ligament fibroids are rare, their surgical management includes nuances of anatomical awareness, traction and counter-traction techniques, and proper hemostasis.

This month’s surgical video presents the case of a 40-year-old woman who presented to the emergency department with sudden-onset abdominal pain. She had a history of menorrhagia and dysmenorrhea and had undergone uterine artery embolization.

The objectives of this technique video are to provide:

  • an overview of the background, clinical presentation, and imaging related to broad ligament fibroids
  • pertinent anatomical landmarks
  • a clinical case of robot-assisted laparoscopic myomectomy, demonstrating surgical technique
  • key points for successful and safe surgical management.

I hope you find this video to be a useful tool for your practice and that you share it, and the other technique videos on my Video Channel, with your colleagues.
