Abstract
Myomectomy is common gynecologic procedure performed for the conservative management of leiomyomas. The surgical removal of myomas can be associated with a considerable amount of intra-operative blood loss, which represents an important morbidity that may be associated with the procedure. The purpose of this video presentation is to demonstrate various preoperative and intraoperative measures that may decrease blood loss during a myomectomy. A particular emphasis was placed on demonstrating the evidence-based strategies that have been shown to decrease blood loss in minimally-invasive abdominal myomectomies. The strategies that are covered in this video presentation include the preoperative use of medications, temporary and permanent uterine artery occlusion, injection of vasopressin and use of barbed suture for closure of the uterine defect.
