Key clinical point: Transendometrial myomectomy (TEM) could be more advantageous than conventional myomectomy (CM) for uterine fibroids (UF) in cesarean section (C-section) for its shorter operation time and lesser adhesion scores.

Major finding: The mean duration of surgery (50.5 minutes vs 63.6 minutes; P = .001) and adhesion scores were significantly lower (0.58 vs 1.76; P = .001) in the TEM than CM group; however, length of hospital stay, procedure-related hemoglobin difference, blood transfusion requirement, and postoperative fever were similar in both groups.

Study details: Findings are from a retrospective study including 93 patients with intramural UFs and underwent myomectomy during C-section. CM and TEM were performed in 52 and 41 patients, respectively.

Disclosures: This study did not report any source of funding. The authors declared no conflict of interests.
