Journal Title: Journal of Evolution of Medical and Dental Sciences - Year 2015, Vol 4, Issue 11
Abstract
[b]OBJECTIVE[/b]: To study all Caesarean myomectomies done at a tertiary center in South India. [b]METHODS[/b]: 29 cases of Caesarean myomectomies were performed from 2004 to 2014, at our institution – a tertiary referral center. The type of fibroids, number and size of myomas, need for blood transfusions, and operating time and post-operative morbidity at Caesarean myomectomy were studied. [b]RESULTS:[/b] We had equal number of subserous and intramural fibroids, and one large sub mucous fibroid removed at surgery. 7 fibroids were very large (> 10 cm diameter). 6 patients had more than 3 fibroids removed at surgery. 8 required blood transfusions, and none of our patients required hysterectomy. [b]CONCLUSION[/b]: The authors find Caesarean myomectomy a feasible and safe option in women with fibroids undergoing Caesarean section.
