It describes the technique of intraoperative ultrasound for laparoscopic myomectomy in detail.

Eur J Obstet Gynecol Reprod Biol 2004; 114:69-74. This randomized controlled trial makes a very strong argument for use of ultrasound guidance in the commonly performed procedure of dilation and curettage. It demonstrates significant reduction in complication rate without adding to operative time.
