The effect of bilateral uterine artery ligation versus intermittent clamping of uterine and ovarian artery on blood loss during abdominal myomectomy A randomized controlled trial

Abstract

Abstract Background: Myomectomies are more commonly performed than hysterectomies, mainly due to the fact that patients desire to retain their uterus for psychological, reproductive and cultural reasons even after completing their families. The average volume of blood loss during abdominal myomectomy is 200 to 800 mL. Surgical hemorrhage may result in anemia, hypovolemia, and coagulation abnormalities. Aim of the Work: to compare between bilateral uterine artery ligation and intermittent clamping of uterine and ovarian artery on amount of blood loss during abdominal myomectomy.
