Abstract
AIM: The aim of this study was to assess the postoperative results of patients who underwent myomectomy during caesarean section in a tertiary center, to investigate whether cesarean myomectomy leads to increased morbidity and to contribute to the literature. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This study was designed retrospectively and conducted to compare the preoperative and postoperative results of 121 patients who underwent myomectomy during cesarean and 149 patients who had only cesarean section in a tertiary center between 1.1.2020-1.1.2022. RESULTS: Although the study did not show a significant prolongation in terms of operative time, a significant relationship was found in the length of hospital stay. Hemoglobin levels after myomectomy were significantly lower than the group without myomectomy in the study. Additionally, preterm delivery rate was higher in the myomectomy group. CONCLUSION: As this study showed us a significant decrease in hemoglobin levels after cesarean and myomectomy, it is appropriate to perform this operation, when necessary, by experienced surgeons and in tertiary centers.
