Why is it important?

This systematic review and meta-analysis of observational studies demonstrated an association with increased operative time and hemoglobin drop in patients who underwent cesarean myomectomy compared with cesarean delivery alone. No increased rate of major hemorrhage or need for transfusion was identified. Cesarean myomectomy may be considered in cases of isolated myomas.
