چکیده
At the University of Benin Teaching Hospital, Benin City, Nigeria, after our first publication titled “Inevitable Caesarean Myomectomy”1, we have since 1996 routinely carried out myomectomy during caesarean section. The result of our first 25 cases was published in 2001.2 We have since then carried out more than 70 procedures of caesarean myomectomy. Our investigations on comparative blood loss, duration of surgery and morbidity at caesarean section, caesarean myomectomy and myomectomy will soon be published.
