Study design: Descriptive study. Subjects: A total of fourty-four patients underwent laparoscopic myomectomy from January 2003 to December 2006 were enrolled. Methods: Patients' characteristics, intra-operative data, complications and hospital stay were collected from hospital records and hospital database. Main outcome measures: Age, presenting symptoms, indication for surgery, amount and size of myoma, operative time, operative blood loss, conversion rate, complications and duration of postoperative hospital stay. Results: The average age of study population was 34.8 ± 4.8 years. The two most common indications for surgery were hypermenorrhea and infertility. The operative time and operative blood loss were 232.6 ±  71.4 minutes and 358.2 ±  51.3 ml, respectively. The major complication, profuse bleeding from myomectomy site during operation leading to conversion, was 4.5%. There was no injury to urinary bladder, ureter or bowel. Minor complication rate was 56.8%. The duration of postoperative hospital stay was 2.4 ±  0.2 days. Conclusion: Laparoscopic myomectomy was a useful surgery due to short postoperative hospital stay and less blood loss. Although minor complications were still high but major complications were too low. There was no injury to urinary bladder, ureter or bowel. Vajira Med J 2007 ; 51 : 163 - 170en_US
