Transcervical resection of myoma (TCRM): Part I by Peng-Hui Wang, Szu-Ting Yang, Wen-Hsun Chang, Hung-Hsien Liu, Wen-Ling Lee

“…Transcervical resection of myoma (TCRM, also called as hysteroscopic myomectomy: HM) is the treatment of choice for submucosal myoma, and this increased trend is secondary to its nearly non-trauma in nature, even compared to other MIS, such as mini-laparotomy and laparoscopic or robotic approach. Although TCRM is becoming more and more popular in modern clinical practice, the risks and limitations of TCRM are often overlooked. …”
