Application of Myomectomy by Extrusion During Cesarean Sections / 中国微创外科杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To evaluate the safety of myomectomy by extrusion in cesarean section , in comparison with routine cesarean delivery. Methods From January 2008 to December 2010, a total of 128 operations of myomectomy by extrusion in cesarean section were performed (Myoma Group), while another group of 128 cases undergoing caesarean section , which respectively followed every cases of the Myoma Group but had no hysteromyoma , was selected as the control group .The amount and rate of postpartum hemorrhage , the level of postpartum fever , and postoperative hospital stay between the two groups were compared , respectively. Results In the two groupsthe amount of postpartum hemorrhage was (233.6 ±58.9) ml vs.(228.5 ±90.9) ml (t=0.530, P=0.597); the rate of postpartum hemorrhage was 0% (0/128) vs.0.8% (1/128) (P=1.000); the decrease of haemoglobin was (6.17 ±2.83) g/L vs.(6.89 ±3.09) g/L (t=-1.944, P=0.053); the decrease of hematocrit was 2.22%± 0.98%vs.2.27%±1.02% (t=-0.400, P=0.690); the rate of postpartum fever was 2.3% (3/128) vs.5.5% (7/128) (χ2 =1.665, P=0.197);the length of postoperative hospital stay was (4.2 ±0.8) d vs.(4.1 ±1.2) d (t=0.706, P=0.481). There were no significant differences between the two groups in the abovementioned parameters . Conclusions The myomectomy by extrusion in cesarean section does not increase the level of postpartum hemorrhage and the rate of postpartum infections .It is a simple, minimally invasive , safe and feasible surgical method , being worthy of clinical application .
