Long-term obstetric, perinatal, and surgical complications in singleton pregnancies following previous cesarean myomectomy: a retrospective multicentric study. Front Surg 2024; 11:1430439. [PMID: 39149134 PMCID: PMC11324572 DOI: 10.3389/fsurg.2024.1430439] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/09/2024] [Accepted: 07/16/2024] [Indexed: 08/17/2024] Open
Abstract
Objectives The safety of cesarean myomectomy has been proven by previous studies. Our study aimed to reveal the long-term perinatal, obstetric, and surgical outcomes of cesarean myomectomy (CM) by comparing different CM techniques. Material and methods This retrospective multicentric case-control study involved 7 hospitals and included 226 singleton pregnancies that underwent repeated cesarean section (CS) between 2015 and 2020. Among these pregnancies, 113 of 226 cases had CM (Group A), and 113 had only CS (Group B). Of the 113 cases in which CM was performed, 58 underwent endometrial myomectomy (EM) (Subgroup A1) and 55 underwent serosal myomectomy (SM) (Subgroup A2). The groups were compared in terms of obstetric, perinatal, and surgical outcomes, and fibroid recurrence, myomectomy scar healing rate, and adhesion formation were noted. Results There was no significant difference between the groups in terms of maternal age, body mass index, gravidity, parity, and fibroid diameter in previous CS (p > 0.05). In the perinatal and obstetric evaluation of the groups, there was no significant difference between the groups in terms of neonatal weight, Apgar score, fetal growth restriction, preterm premature rupture of membranes, preterm delivery, hypertension in pregnancy, and diabetes mellitus (p > 0.05). The fibroid recurrence rate was 28.3%, and the myomectomy scar good healing rate was 99.1%. There was no difference between the groups in terms of CS duration, preoperative and postoperative hemoglobin levels, perioperative blood transfusion rates, febrile morbidity, and prolonged hospitalization (p > 0.05). In terms of adhesion formation, although the adhesion rate of the SM group was higher than that of the EM group, no statistically significant difference was detected between the groups. Conclusion This study showed that in pregnancies following CM, obstetrical, perinatal, and surgical outcomes were unaffected. Obstetricians can safely use CM, either the trans-endometrial or serosal technique, as it is a safe and effective method with long-term results.

Cesarean Myomectomy: Reflections on Clinical and Surgical Controversies between a New Trans-Decidual Technique vs. Traditional Method. MEDICINA (KAUNAS, LITHUANIA) 2024; 60:609. [PMID: 38674255 PMCID: PMC11052397 DOI: 10.3390/medicina60040609] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/15/2024] [Revised: 04/04/2024] [Accepted: 04/06/2024] [Indexed: 04/28/2024]
Abstract
Up to 70-80% of women of reproductive age may be affected with the most common uterine tumors, known as fibroids or myomas. These benign tumors are the second most prevalent cause of surgery among premenopausal women. Predictions show that the occurrence of myomas in pregnancy will increase, and that the risk of having myomas during pregnancy increases with advanced maternal age. Although most women with fibroids do not experience any symptoms during pregnancy, up to 30% of women experience problems during pregnancy, childbirth, and the puerperium. The viability of myoma excision during cesarean surgery (CS) is a contentious issue raised by the rising incidence of myomas in pregnancy and CS rates. A new surgical procedure for removing fibroids using a trans-endometrial approach, which involves making an incision through the decidua itself, has put into doubt the long-standing practice of cesarean myomectomy (CM) with a trans-serosal approach. Some authors have recently advocated for this last approach, highlighting its advantages and potential uses in real-world situations. The purpose of this paper is to critique the present approach to cesarean myomectomy by analyzing the clinical and surgical distinctions between the two approaches and providing illustrations of the CM methods.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In this study, the prognostic and reproductive outcomes of women who underwent excision of uterine myomas and were sutured using different techniques while undergoing a cesarean section were investigated. METHODS A total of 299 females who underwent cesarean section between January 2015 and June 2022 due to a scarred uterus were enrolled in this study. These participants were segregated into two categories: the experimental group (comprising 155 cases) in which uterine myoma (single lesion) was excised during the cesarean procedure, and the control group (consisting of 144 cases) in which only the cesarean section was conducted. A comparison between the two groups was carried out based on the following parameters: volume of intraoperative bleeding (mL), additional measures taken for intraoperative hemostasis (n, %), percentage (%) of patients experiencing postoperative fever, duration required for the passage of gas (hours [h]), length of hospital stay (days [d]), weight of newborns (kg) and their Apgar scores, and the reproductive outcomes of the experimental group assessed two years after the surgical procedure. RESULTS In the experimental group, the amount of bleeding during surgery, occurrence of postoperative fever among women, time taken for patients to resume passing gas, and length of hospital stay were 540.65 ± 269.12 mL, 9.03%, 15.99 ± 4.68 h, and 5.08 ± 1.18 days, respectively. In contrast, the control group had values of 409.03 ± 93.24 mL, 2.77%, 16.24 ± 4.92, and 4.47 ± 0.70 days, respectively (P < 0.05). No notable increase was observed in the need for additional intraoperative hemostasis measures, and there was no significant difference in the time it took for patients to pass gas after the surgery. All newborns had positive health status. In the experimental group, 25 patients underwent subsequent pregnancies, and 15 of them successfully reached full-term deliveries, all of which had positive outcomes. CONCLUSION Combining myomectomy with various suture methods during cesarean delivery did not cause excessive bleeding and resulted in healthy newborns. This approach offers the advantage of avoiding additional surgeries under anesthesia and can be considered a viable option. Subsequent pregnancies after myomectomy were considered high-risk.

J Matern Fetal Neonatal Med 2023; 36:2232655. [PMID: 37433647 DOI: 10.1080/14767058.2023.2232655] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/18/2023] [Revised: 06/12/2023] [Accepted: 06/29/2023] [Indexed: 07/13/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the feasibility and effectiveness of cesarean myomectomy (CM) via trans-endometrial approach in pregnant women with single intramural fibroid in the posterior uterine wall. METHODS Ninety-eight patients with single intramural fibroids in the posterior uterine wall who underwent CM were divided into two groups depending on surgical style. The study group consisted of 50 patients who underwent trans-endometrial myomectomy (EM), whereas the control group included 48 patients who had trans-serosal myomectomy (SM). Patients' demographic data, intraoperative and postoperative outcomes were analyzed retrospectively. RESULTS No significant differences were found in the baseline characteristics of the two groups, including demographic data, size, location of fibroids, comorbidities, and indications for cesarean section. During the perioperative period, we did not observe significant differences between the two groups in terms of intraoperative hemorrhage, blood transfusion rate, postoperative fever incidence and postoperative hospitalization (all p > .05). It's worth noting that the time of operation and postoperative ventilation in the EM group was shorter than that in the SM group (p < .05). More importantly, estimated blood loss and postoperative hemoglobin decline were less in the EM group than in the SM group (p < .05). CONCLUSION EM seems to be a viable approach to CM for the treatment of single intramural fibroids in the posterior wall, with the potential advantages of short operative time, low intraoperative bleeding, and low risk of pelvic adhesions.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To explore the safety and efficiency of endometrial myomectomy (EM) and Serosal myomectomy (SM) for the removal of intramural myoma greater than 8 cm in diameter during cesarean section. METHODS Retrospective analysis and follow-up were used, and 190 cases of pregnancy complicated with uterine myoma from Jan. 2017 to May 2022 in Ningbo Women's and Children's Hospital were collected, 130 cases of caesarean myomectomy as study group, 64 cases of EM as study group A, 66 cases of SM as study group B, 33 cases with uterine fibroids removed before suturing the uterine incision as study group B1, 33 cases with uterine incision sutured followed by removal of fibroids as study group B2, 60 cases of Caesarean section alone as control group. To compare perioperative conditions between and within groups. RESULTS ① Operation time, postoperative exhaust time, pre- and post-operative haemoglobin drop, intraoperative blood loss were all more than those of the control group in the study group (68.65 ± 11.87 vs 56.17 ± 9.18 min, 21.04 ± 4.98 vs 17.03 ± 1.3 h, 1.27 ± 0.59 vs 1.09 ± 0.43 g/dl, 613 ± 221 vs 532 ± 156 ml, P < 0.001, P < 0.001, P = 0.025, P = 0.011). ② For type III and V fibroids, the time of myoma removal, postoperative exhaust and pre- and post-operative haemoglobin drop and intraoperative blood loss in study group A were less than those in study group B (18.02 ± 3.89 vs 20.19 ± 5.32 min, 18.83 ± 2.57 vs 23.93 ± 6.84 h, 600 ± 194 vs 730 ± 277 ml, 1.20 ± 0.57 vs 1.59 ± 0.70 g/dl, P = 0.036, P < 0.001, P = 0.014, P = 0.008); For type IV uterine fibroids, only postoperative exhaust time was less in Study Group A than in Study Group B (19.27 ± 2.2 vs 21.35 ± 3.23 h, P = 0.016). ③ Time of myoma removed was less in study group B1 than in study group B2 (18.24 ± 4.53 vs 20.7 ± 4.59 min, P = 0.033). CONCLUSION It is safe and feasible to remove interstitial myomas larger than 8 cm in diameter during caesarean section. EM has the advantage of shorter operation time and less intraoperative bleeding, SM, in a way that the myoma is removed before suturing the uterine incision, can shorten the myomectomy time. It can benefit the patients more.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To compare the surgical results of transendometrial myomectomy (TEM) and conventional myomectomy (CM) procedures for fibroid in cesarean section. MATERIAL AND METHODS This retrospective study was conducted with computer-based medical records of patients who underwent myomectomy during cesarean section between January 2013 and March 2019. During the study period, 41 patients underwent transendometrial myomectomy, and 52 patients with had conventional myomectomy. In all patients included in the study, myoma was single, intramural, and localized in the anterior of the uterus. RESULTS The total duration of surgery was shorter in the TEM group than in the CM group (50,5 ± 10 min vs 63,6 ± 15,2, p = 0,001). There was no difference in terms of length of hospital stay, procedure-related hemoglobin difference, blood transfusion requirement and postoperative fever (respectively, p = 0,65, p = 0,81, p = 0,33 and p = 0,9). Patients who underwent TEM (0.58 ± 0.61) had significantly lower adhesion scores in their subsequent pregnancy compared to patients who underwent CM (1,76 ± 1,1) (p = 0,001). CONCLUSION Transendometrial myomectomy technique seems to be more advantageous in selected patients compared to the conventional technique due to the shorter operation time.

Abstract
PURPOSE To examine the feasibility and safety of performing cesarean myomectomy on pregnant women with myomas compared to cesarean section only. METHODS We retrieved English articles in the PubMed, Cochrane Library, Medline and EMBASE databases from inception to April 2020. Observational studies including the comparison of patients who underwent cesarean myomectomy and cesarean section, as well as those reporting perioperative outcomes were selected. Data extraction was conducted using RevMan 5.3. RESULTS Twenty-three studies comprising 8,016 women were included in the meta-analysis. Of these, 3,955 underwent cesarean myomectomy, while 4,061 underwent cesarean section only. Cesarean myomectomies were associated with a greater decline in mean hemoglobin (mean difference [MD] 0.20 g/dL, 95% confidence intervals [CI] 0.06, 0.35, p = .007), greater incidence of hemorrhage (odds ratio [OR] 1.46, 95% CI 1.06, 2.01, p = .02), greater volume of blood loss (MD 45.54 ml, 95% CI 2.68, 88.41, p = .04), higher transfusion rate (OR 1.47 95%CI 1.09, 1.99, p = .01), longer operation duration (MD 10.40 min, 95% CI 8.54, 12.25, p < .001), or longer postoperative hospitalization (MD 0.18 d, 95% CI 0.12, 0.24, p < .001), compared to those who underwent cesarean section only. There was no statistical difference in postoperative fever rates (OR 1.12, 95% CI 0.77, 1.62). CONCLUSION Hemorrhage represents a risk factor which should not be overlooked by surgeons performing cesarean myomectomy. Intramural myomas, myomas ≥7 cm in size, and multiple myomas are associated with more intraoperative hemorrhage and prolonged operation duration. We suggest that, with appropriate hemostatic techniques and when performed by experienced surgeons, cesarean myomectomy may be safe and feasible in selected patients with myomas, regardless of size and locations, except if they are located at the cornual or close to large vessels, and in the absence of uterine atony during surgery.

Abstract
Fibroids in pregnancy are increasingly common, due to advanced maternal age, better diagnostic tools and use of assisted reproductive techniques. Cesarean section (CS) is the commonest mode of delivery in these patients. Cesarean myomectomy (CM) is the term used to describe the removal of fibroids at CS; it has always been a controversial topic, with two schools of thought. Some obstetricians advise against it due to the traditional fear of massive obstetric hemorrhage and its attendant complications. However, recent literature advocates elective or opportunistic myomectomy in well-selected cases during CS. This is especially valuable in low-resource settings where the patient may be spared a repeat surgery and problems of anesthesia and cost associated with it. This review examines the recent published data on CM, its indications, technique, safety and applicability in modern obstetrics.
