    Area of Science:

    • Gynecology
    • Surgical Oncology

    Background:

    • Uterine fibroids (leiomyomas) are common benign tumors.
    • Hysterectomy is the primary treatment for symptomatic fibroids.
    • Myomectomy is an alternative for women desiring uterine preservation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review the indications and surgical considerations for myomectomy.
    • To discuss strategies for minimizing complications associated with myomectomy.

    Main Methods:

    • Literature review of myomectomy techniques and outcomes.
    • Analysis of surgical approaches to manage uterine fibroids.

    Main Results:

    • Myomectomy is indicated for women with a single large fibroid wishing to preserve their uterus.
  • Degeneration of fibroids, even during pregnancy, rarely necessitates surgery.
  • Myomectomy can be associated with significant blood loss and postoperative morbidity.

    • Conclusions:

    • Minimizing uterine circulation with tourniquets and clamps can reduce intraoperative blood loss.
    • Atraumatic tumor removal and meticulous hemostasis are crucial for minimizing postoperative complications.
