Laparoscopic myomectomy (LM) has some advantages over laparotomy; however, it is reputed to be technically difficult, and the risk of conversion to laparotomy might be an obstacle in using this procedure. The aim of this study was to identify the pre-operative factors affecting the risk of conversion to an open procedure (either laparoscopic assisted myomectomy or laparotomy), and to develop a simple prediction model based on available pre-operative data with the use of multiple logistic regression.
