Effect of Oxytocin Infusion on Reducing Blood Loss during Abdominal Myomectomy

Abstract

Myomectomy is indicated for symptomatic uterine fibroids. Fibroids have blood supply and 20% of the abdominal myomectomy cases might require blood transfusion because of the nature of the surgery. Oxytocin infusion is one of the intervention to decrease blood loss during myomectomy. To evaluate the effects and benefits of oxytocin infusion during abdominal myomectomy we decide to conduct this randomized study.
