Abstract

The aim of this study was to evaluate the risk factors for complications of myomectomy at cesarean section (CS). The subjects were a non-complicated group (n = 100) and a complicated group (n = 10) of patients aged between 20 and 43 years who underwent CS and simultaneous myomectomy at our institution from January 2006 until December 2008. Complications were defined as blood transfusion greater than three packed red blood cells, postoperative ileus, and two days longer than average hospitalization. The complicated group (n = 10) had (i) a myoma larger than 10 cm and no secondary change; and (ii) intramural myoma type. Myomectomy during CS can be performed in selected cases, but some patients had significant complications like ileus and postoperative atonic bleeding.
