In pregnancies complicated by large myomas, obstetricians may face difficulties during cesarean section if they fail to notice the rotation of the uterus and could make an incorrect uterine incision. This error might cause massive intraoperative hemorrhage. Obstetricians must exercise extreme caution during cesarean sections complicated by large myomas.
