Myomas are the most common disorder of the female genital organs, occurring more frequently throughout women's reproductive years. Myomas are a major health issue all over the world. They develop as a monoclonal tumor from cells influenced by ovarian steroids, and mediated by surrounding myometrial cells by paracrine mechanisms. During its growth, a myoma compresses the surrounding tissue, causing the formation of a pseudocapsule, encapsulating the myoma. The mechanical properties of myomas are a key factor which can contribute to their growth. While myomas are essentially rigid, their pseudocapsule is more elastic, and this allows uterine adaptation to the growing myoma. Hence, the pseudocapsule induces displacement on the myometrium, which is not destructive since the integrity and contractility of uterine structure is maintained. Extensive research conducted on the myoma and its pseudocapsule has produced important data. Scientific research is still trying to clarify some of the evidence regarding the influence of myomas on infertility, especially in the case of intramural myomas. During fertility-sparing myoma surgery, data suggest that during myoma removal the pseudocapsule should be preserved. However, unsolved issues still exist on the cesarean myomectomy technique, since the age of pregnancy has been increasing in the new millennium, so patients present with myomas which should be removed before and during the cesarean section, or prior to applying for medically-assisted reproduction. © 2016 Edizioni Minerva Medica.

Purpose: To study whether it is better to perform or not a myomectomy, in terms of surgical and reproductive outcomes in patients of advanced reproductive age, by an observational prospective study in university-affiliated and Community Hospitals. Materials and methods: 40 years and older patients affected by non-submucous symptomatic uterine fibroids and desiring future fertility were enrolled and treated by laparoscopic intracapsular myomectomy by (LIM) or by open laparotomy (OIM), or by a non-surgical management as control group, while attempting to conceive. The primary outcome measures were fibroid characteristics, pre- and post-surgical parameters, pregnancy achievement; the secondary outcome measures were the spontaneous or ART pregnancy outcomes, eventual week of abortion and type of delivery. Propensity scores have been calculated with logistic regression for binary and continuous variables. Results: 202 patients completed the study: 112 operated by LIM, 40 by OIM and 50 patients as control group. Patients undergoing OIM have a worse surgical outcome than LIM. No difference was seen in pregnancy either after myomectomy or control group during follow-up. In the LIM group, there were 44 pregnancies (39.2%), and in the OIM group, there were 9 (22.5%) and 16 in the control group (32%). The weeks of delivery were statistically greater for the control group versus the surgical groups, with no difference in Apgar score between the 3 groups. Conclusion: Patients aged over 40 years did not show substantial differences in reproductive outcome, whether operated or not. Myomectomy in over 40-year-old patients has no detrimental effect on future pregnancy rates and over when compared to expectant management. © 2023, The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany, part of Springer Nature.
