Article Abstract
Objective: This multi-center study aims to determine the efficiency and safety of endometrial myomectomy (EM) for the removal of uterine fibroids during cesarean section (CS).
Methods: Retrospective review of 360 women diagnosed for fibroids during pregnancy. They all delivered by CS between 2014 and 2019. The study groups included 118 women who only underwent EM, 120 women who only had subserosal myomectomy by traditional technique and 122 women with fibroids who decided to avoid cesarean myomectomy, as control group. They were analyzed and compared the surgical outcomes.
Results: The EM, subserosal myomectomy and control groups were statistically ( > 0.05) similar for to age, body mass index (BMI), gravidity, parity, gestational age at delivery, indications for CS, number of excised fibroids, size of the largest myoma. Postoperative hemoglobin values and ? (?) hemoglobin concentrations were lower in SM group (10.39gr/dl vs 9.98 gr/dl vs 10.19 - 1.44 gr/dl vs 1.90 gr/dl vs 1.35; = 0.047, = 0.021; respectively) Hybrid fibroids were significantly more frequent in the EM group than subserosal myomectomy and control groups (respectively, 33.1% vs 23.3% vs 27.0%, = 0.002). Surgery time was significantly longer in the subserosal myomectomy group than EM and control groups (respectively, 46.53 min vs 37.88 min vs 33.86 min, = 0.001). Myomectomy took significantly longer time in the subserosal myomectomy than EM group (13.75 min vs 8.17 min, = 0.001).
Conclusions: Endometrial myomectomy is a feasible choice for treatment of fibroids during CS, and, basing on our results could be an alternative to traditional cesarean subserosal myomectomy.

A Multicenter Retrospective Cohort Study Assessing the Incidence of Anemia in Patients Associated With Uterine Fibroids.

Article Synopsis
- Uterine fibroids are benign tumors that often lead to symptoms like heavy menstrual bleeding (menorrhagia), which can affect women’s quality of life, particularly in premenopausal women.
- This study analyzed the relationship between different types of uterine fibroids and the incidence of anemia in patients diagnosed with fibroids between 2016 and 2022.
- Findings revealed that 75% of women with submucosal fibroids experienced anemia, while subserosal fibroids were linked to the lowest risk, though all fibroid types showed no significant differences in anemia severity.

Cotyledonoid dissecting leiomyoma (CDL) is a rare benign uterine leiomyoma that macroscopically shows multinodular placenta-like growth. Its border with the myometrial layer is unclear, making it clinically difficult to differentiate from uterine sarcoma. CDL is often misdiagnosed.

Article Synopsis
- * A case study discusses a 28-year-old woman who experienced progressive abdominal swelling and underwent surgery after imaging suggested a cyst; multiple uterine leiomyomas were confirmed through histology.
- * Detection of abdominal masses that may mimic cysts, especially with characteristics like a pedicle sign, should lead to consideration of subserosal leiomyomas, particularly in young women with no signs of pregnancy or malignancy.
Comparison of Costs, Re-Intervention Rates, and Length of Hospital Stay for Three Uterus Sparing Interventions for Uterine Fibroids: A 2-Year Retrospective Claims Analysis.
Clinicoecon Outcomes Res

Department of Urology, Hoag Hospital, Newport Beach, CA, USA.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate the two-year post-operative outcomes and healthcare costs of three uterus-sparing procedures for treating uterine fibroids in women who wish to maintain their uterus: LAP-RFA, myomectomy, and UAE.
- A total of 54 women were randomly assigned to undergo one of the procedures, and their results were compared to a larger group of women from insurance claims data.
- The findings revealed that LAP-RFA had the lowest costs and shortest hospital stays, while UAE had the highest costs and re-intervention rates, indicating that LAP-RFA may be the most cost-effective and efficient option among the three treatments for fibroids.
Emergency Surgical Treatment of a Large Pedunculated Subserosal Uterine Leiomyoma With Torsion: A Rare Cause of Acute Abdomen.

Torsion of pedunculated subserosal leiomyoma of the uterus is a rare cause of acute abdomen. A 27-year-old female patient with twisted subserosal pedunculated uterine leiomyoma misdiagnosed as an adnexal mass underwent laparotomy. The patient came to the Emergency Department of General Hospital of Trikala with symptoms of acute abdomen.
