Abstract
INTRODUCTION: The reported prevalence of fibroid in pregnancy is 10.7% (1). Fibroids necessitating surgery in pregnancy is rare and myomectomy in pregnancy has been reported to be successful in a few series (2,3). Myomectomy may be warranted when there is associated pain not relieved with conservative measures, haemorrhage necessitating transfusion or when degeneration of the fibroid leads to infection. There are only a few reports in the literature outlining vaginal myomectomy of a cervical or prolapsed submucous fibroid (4,5).
