Summary

Uterine leiomyomas (fibroids) are the most common benign tumors among women. Fibroids are found in approximately 20% of women over 35 years of age. In 20-50% of patients, fibroids may cause problems such as heavy menstrual bleeding, anemia, pelvic pain, pressure symptoms from extrinsic compression of the colorectal and urinary tract. Surgery is indicated for symptomatic uterine leiomyomas; hysterectomy for women who have completed childbearing (women \> 40 years old), and myomectomy for women \<40 years old who wish to preserve uterus and fertility.

Conditions

  • Myomectomy

Interventions

DRUG

Tranexamic Acid

Patients in the TXA group will be given 15 mg/kg of tranexamic acid (Cyklokapron@; Amoun Pharmaceutical Co., SAE) slowly intravenously 30 min before surgery followed by 10 mg/ kg/h infusion in 500 ml Ringer's by infusion pump till the end of the procedure.

DRUG

oxytocin

An equal volume of normal saline syringe in a double blinded manner will be intravenously administered to the OXYtocin group 30 min before surgery and will be followed by one ampoule of oxytocin (10 U/mL/amp) (Syntocinon; Aventis Pharmaceutical Co.) will be added to 500 mL Ringer's solution running at a rate of 400 mU/min by infusion pump till the end of the procedure.

DRUG

placebo

An equal volume of normal saline syringe in a double blinded manner will be intravenously administered to the Oxytocin group 30 min before surgery and will be followed by 500 ml saline infusion during the operation
