Myomectomy During Pregnancy

SUMMARY MYOMECTOMY DURING PREGNANCY Background: The management of a pregnancy complicated by leiomyoma remains controversial. The overall risk of major complications in pregnancies with uterine leiomyoma is reported as 71%. Observation: We present two cases of myomectomy during pregnancy. The diagnosis is confirmed by using magnetic resonance imaging in each case. Both patients necessitated myomectomy because of severe pelvic pain. Either of the pregnancies reached to term and no complications occurred. Conclusion: Parallel to the published data, we think that myomectomy during pregnancy is safe and advantageous in selected cases.
