As IOLUS provides accuracy, improved visualization, and real-time guidance, the integration of IOLUS into many surgical procedures has occurred and IOLUS assists surgeons during advanced procedures. Today, laparoscopic myomectomy has become a prominent surgical procedure in gynecology. Despite its benefits, laparoscopic myomectomy presents certain challenges. The risk of residual fibroids is higher in laparoscopic myomectomy compared to abdominal surgery. The limited depth perception and restricted range of motion can also be obstacles for surgeons, especially when dealing with deeply embedded fibroids. IOLUS has the potential to overcome these limitations. In this study, our aim was to conduct a review of the literature concerning the use of IOLUS during laparoscopic myomectomy.
