An RCT: use of oxytocin drip during hysteroscopic endometrial resection and its effect on operative blood loss and glycine deficit.

Objective: To estimate the influence of oxytocin infusion on operative blood loss and glycine deficit during hysteroscopic transcervical endometrial resection (TCRE) for abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB).

Design: Prospective, randomized, placebo-controlled study (Canadian Task Force classification I).

Setting: Tertiary Care University Hospital.

Preliminary uterine artery ligation versus pericervical mechanical tourniquet in reducing hemorrhage during abdominal myomectomy.

Objective: To compare the effectiveness of preliminary uterine artery ligation versus pericervical mechanical tourniquet in reducing hemorrhage during myomectomy.

Methods: A total of 103 patients undergoing myomectomy were randomly allocated to undergo preliminary uterine artery ligation (52 patients) or pericervical tourniquet (51 patients). The primary outcome measure was estimated blood loss.
