Summary
This study reviewed 101 women who underwent myomectomy during cesarean delivery over 10 years. The most common secondary changes observed in leiomyomata were hypertrophy and necrosis.
Area of Science:
- Obstetrics and Gynecology
- Surgical Pathology
Context:
- Myomectomy during cesarean delivery is a common surgical procedure.
- Leiomyomata (fibroids) can necessitate surgical intervention during cesarean sections.
Purpose:
- To review a decade of experience with surgical management of leiomyomata during cesarean delivery.
- To analyze the characteristics of myomas removed concurrently with cesarean sections.
Summary:
- 101 women underwent myomectomy at cesarean delivery (0.89% of cesarean sections).
- In most cases, a single myoma was removed (90 cases); multiple myomas were removed in 11 cases.
- Pathological analysis revealed hypertrophy in 59 myomas and necrosis in 52 myomas.
Impact:
- Highlights the incidence and pathological findings of myomectomy performed during cesarean delivery.
- Provides data on secondary changes in leiomyomata, specifically hypertrophy and necrosis.
- Informs clinical practice regarding the management of uterine fibroids during pregnancy and childbirth.
