Abstract

Objective: The aim of this article is to support intracaesarian myomectomy as an alternative method of treatment.

Case report: This article presents a case of myomectomy during a caesarean section at 38+1 weeks' gestation, with a subserosal myoma on the left wall of the uterus.

Conclusion: The postoperative period was free of complications, lending credit to the possibility that intracaesarean myomectomy can have a favourable outcome.

Keywords: Caesarean; Fibroid; Myoma; Myomectomy; Pregnancy.
