Myomectomy during cesarean section: Evaluation of perioperative results

Abstract

Aim: To compare the perioperative outcomes between patients who underwent myomectomy during cesarean section and those without myomectomy during cesarean section retrospectively. Materials and Methods: In our study, a total of 187 patients, including 125 patients who underwent myomectomy (case) during cesarean section and 62 patients who had not undergone myomectomy (control) during cesarean section, were included in our clinic between February 2015- October 2019. Basic demographic characteristics of the patients, gestational week at the time of operation, the mean number of myoma and size, locations of myoma, mean differences between hemoglobin and hematocrit levels postoperatively, mean operation time, need for erythrocyte transfusion, and mean hospitalization time were retrospectively evaluated. Results: The mean diameter of the myoma in the control group is significantly higher than that of the myomectomy group (5.75 ± 3.71 cm and 4.73 ± 3.76 cm, respectively; p:0.0057). The mean operation time was 82.81 ± 28.69 min. and 70.08 ± 17.89 min. in the myomectomy and control groups, respectively (p: 0.003). There was no statistically significant difference between the two groups in the other parameters (Mean Hb, Htc differences postoperatively, mean hospitalization time, etc.). Conclusion: Our results support that myomectomy performed during the cesarean section does not increase perioperative morbidity and may be useful when it is performed by experienced surgeons. In addition, myomectomy during cesarean section can decrease the need for secondary surgery due to the myoma.
