Abstract

A myoma is a non-cancerous tumor that involves muscle cells. There are two main types of myomas: leiomyomas, which occur in smooth muscle, the most commonly occur as uterine fibroids, and rhabdomyoma, which occurs in striated muscle. A patient who undergoes myomectomy during caesarean section will not require a second operation. In addition, caesarean myomectomy also promotes puerperal involution and significantly reduces fibroid related complications that can develop later in life such as menorrhagia, anaemia due to heavy bleeding and pain. Objective was to see the outcome of patients in terms of blood loss and post op fever undergoing caesarean myomectomy. The study design was hospital based observational study. 5 patients undergoing caesarean section with uterine fibroid willing to undergo myomectomy were included. Myomectomy at the time of caesarean section can be safe and successful if it is done carefully with minimum blood loss and intra op and post op complications.
