Key clinical point: Hysteromyoma enucleation performed simultaneously during the cesarean section (C-section) is safe without any surgical complications in pregnant women with anterior uterine fibroids (UF).

Major finding: The operation time (median, 83.3 minutes vs 72.5 minutes; P = .04) and postoperative hospital stays (median, 3.6 days vs 3.2 days; P = .01) were slightly longer in the group of patients whose UFs were removed by C-section incision vs those who were operated traditionally by an incision through the serous layer. Pre- and postoperative hemoglobin level, intraoperative bleeding, frequency of blood transfusion, postpartum hemorrhage, and fever were similar between both groups, with no postoperative complications observed in either group.

Study details: Findings are from a retrospective analysis of 90 pregnant women with anterior UFs who underwent hysteromyoma enucleation simultaneously during C-section.

Disclosures: This study was funded by the Fujian Provincial Maternity and Children’s Hospital Science Foundation. The authors declared no conflict of interests.
