Abstract
OBJECTIVES: To assess the intra- and postoperative results of cesarean myomectomy. METHODS: A retrospective study was conducted to collect the results of cesarean myomectomy procedures performed in our tertiary center between June 2013 and December 2018. The subjects were 2219 pregnant women undergoing cesarean section at these units. RESULTS: A total of 2219 scheduled patients undergoing CS were included in the present study. Sixty-five patients have undergone intramural myomectomy during CS; 82 patients have had subserosal myomectomy during CS. No statistically significant differences were found between the three groups in changes of preoperative Hb, postoperative Hb, mean Hb and length of hospital stay. Operation times were significantly longer in both intramural and subserosal myomectomy groups (45.23 ± 8.498 vs. 39.02 ± 6.824 vs. 32.14 ± 5.423 min, p 0.01). Only in the intramural myomectomy group, two patients were subjected to blood transfusion (3%). Assessment of intramural myomectomy patients was carried out by taking 5 cm as the cutoff value. No statistical differences were found between the two groups in terms of mean Hb change, operation time, length of hospital stay. In the group with intramural myomectomy larger than 5 cm, two (15.38%) patients needed a blood transfusion. CONCLUSIONS: Cesarean myomectomy operation performed by experienced surgeons has no adverse effects other than lengthening the duration of operation and can be safely implemented. © Federation of Obstetric & Gynecological Societies of India 2020.
