Complications in Singleton Pregnancies Following Previous Cesarean Myomectomy

February 21, 2021 updated by: Oguz Guler, Bilge Hospital

Long Term Obstetric, Perinatal and Surgical Complications in Singleton Pregnancies Following Previous Cesarean Myomectomy

The present study aims to investigate whether there is a difference in short- and long-term complications in patients undergoing cesarean myomectomy (endometrial or serosal myomectomy) during cesarean section.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

Myomectomy is frequently performed during cesarean section. Infertility, myoma recurrence, adhesions , uterine rupture (complete/incomplete), impaired uterine healing (partial or complete dehiscence/poor/good), placental abnormalities, and perinatal complications in subsequent pregnancy are may be associated with cesarean myomectomy. In this study, patients who underwent cesarean myomectomy during cesarean section in our institute were analyzed in a retrospective manner. Patients were divided into three groups as those receiving serosal myomectomy, endometrial myomectomy and those who only underwent cesarean section. The groups were compared with respect to the presence of adhesion formation, time to achieve pregnancy (fertility), morphology of the myomectomy scar, presence of uterine rupture and placental abnormalities.
