OBJECTIVES: Myomectomy is the most common surgery performed at cesarean delivery. This report reviews a 10-year experience with surgical management of leiomyomata at cesarean section. MATERIAL AND METHODS: [corrected] 101 women had myomectomies performed at cesarean delivery during the period studied. (0.89% of all cesarean sections). We reviewed the pathology on the all specimens. RESULTS: In 90 cases only one myoma was enucleated, in other 11 two or more myomas were enucleated. 59 myomas were hypertrophic and 52 myomas were necrotic. CONCLUSIONS: The most frequent secondary change reported was hypertrophy of the muscle fibers and necrosis.
