The standard teaching is to avoid caesarean myomectomy as much as possible for the fear of the attendant severe haemorrhage. Classical caesarean section in spite of its risk of uterine rupture in subsequent pregnancies had been prescribed in its place. We report a case of a 32 year old nullipara who had an inevitable removal of a huge intramural fibroid in order to assess the baby. A high dose oxytocin infusion, and skillful surgery ensured minimal intra operative and post operative blood loss.
标准的教学观点是,出于对随之而来的严重出血的担忧,应尽可能避免剖宫产子宫肌瘤切除术。尽管经典剖宫产在后续妊娠中有子宫破裂的风险,但仍被规定作为替代方案。我们报告一例32岁未产妇的病例,为了评估胎儿情况,不得不切除一个巨大的肌壁间肌瘤。高剂量催产素输注以及精湛的手术确保了术中及术后失血最少。
