Summary
This case study reports a successful myomectomy during a caesarean section, a procedure typically avoided due to hemorrhage risks. It highlights a potential option for managing uterine fibroids during childbirth.
Area of Science:
- Obstetrics and Gynecology
- Reproductive Medicine
Background:
- Uterine myomas (fibroids) are increasingly diagnosed during pregnancy.
- Delayed childbearing increases the risk of myoma growth and complications.
Purpose of the Study:
- To report a case of myomectomy performed during a caesarean section.
- To explore the feasibility of managing uterine fibroids during childbirth.
Main Methods:
- A caesarean section was performed.
- A myomectomy was conducted concurrently during the caesarean section.
- The procedure focused on a pedunculated fibroid for easier removal.
Main Results:
- The myomectomy during caesarean section was successfully completed.
- Severe hemorrhage, a common concern, was avoided in this case.
Conclusions:
- Myomectomy during caesarean section is a potential option for specific cases, such as pedunculated fibroids.
- Careful patient selection and surgical expertise are crucial to minimize risks like hemorrhage and hysterectomy.
