Abstract

Th e prevalence of uterine fibrosis during pregnancy is considered to be relatively low and totals 3-12 %. However, uterine fi brosis may lead to severe complications during pregnancy such as miscarriage, intrauterine growth restriction, placenta praevia, trophicity decline and fi broid nodule necrosis. Myomectomy is rarely performed on pregnant patients due to the fear of miscarriage and the risk of uncontrolled bleeding necessitating hysterectomy. This article reports our own cases of removal of subserosal leiomyoma that had led to septic or aseptic necrosis. It is claimed that myomectomy performed on thoroughly selected patients prevents sepsis induced by septic of aseptic necrosis of the fi broid nodule and also prevents impairment of functions of adjacent organs.
