    Prevalence and Complications of Elective Myomectomy in Three Teaching Hospitals in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia: a Retrospective Cross-Sectional Study
    (Addis Ababa University, 2024-10-13) Siraj Awel; Abdu Mengesha
    Myomectomy, which is a surgical removal of myoma (uterine fibroid), is one of the most commonly done gynecological procedures and the most common indication for hysterectomy worldwide. The procedure could be done for multiple indications, including abdominal pain, abnormal uterine bleeding and abdominal mass, infertility, and recurrent miscarriages. Even though the procedure is considered to be safe, complications still arise, including hemorrhage, infections, fever, conversion to hysterectomy, blood transfusion, venous thromboembolism, and organ injuries depending on the size, number, and location of myomas.
