We divided the patients into 2 groups: those with leiomyomas (n=893) and those with adenomyosis (n=353). There was no difference in operative time and estimated blood loss between the 2 groups when analyzed by uterine weight. However, adenomyosis was associated with an increased risk of bladder injury.\nSimilar content being viewed by others\nAuthor information\nAuthors and Affiliations\nAdditional information\nAccepted: 7 April 1998\nRights and permissions\nAbout this article\nCite this article\nFuruhashi, M., Miyabe, Y., Katsumata, Y. et al.
