Ascorbic Acid for Prevention of Intraoperative Blood Loss and Related Complications During Myomectomy: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials.

Leiomyomas are inherently well-vascularized neoplasms; thus, they are very vulnerable to bleeding-associated complications during myomectomy. Ascorbic acid has well-established functions in tissue healing and the prevention of bleeding tendencies. Several randomized controlled trials (RCTs) have explored the antihemorrhagic utility of ascorbic acid administration during myomectomy.
