A distance of 10 mm or less and a TD of >500 KJ were significantly correlated with sacral injury. The distance from the fibroid's dorsal side to the sacrum and the TD were the main causes of injury to the sacrum. A distance of 10 mm or less and a TD of >500 KJ carried higher injury risks, while a distance of 21-30 mm and a TD of <250 KJ were the most appropriate circumstances to reduce the risk of sacral injury.
