Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The aim is to verify, whether intraoperative temporary clipping of the uterine vessels with vascular clips can reduce blood loss significantly.

Uterine artery clipped

Both uterine arteries are temporarily clipped by Yasargil clips during laparoscopic myomectomy.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

clipping of uterine arteries during laparoscopic myomectomy

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

For laparoscopy standard instruments were used.For vascular clamping we used titan made YASARGIL vessel clips. The patient is put in a 20° Trendelenburg. The surgeon coagulates a 3-4 cm long segment of peritoneum over the ileopsoas muscle. Along the coagulated segment the peritoneum is opened. The surgeon identifies the ureter at its crossing over the common iliac vessels. After medializing the ureter, the pararectal space is opened and the internal iliac artery is identified and dissected till the origin of the uterine artery. The uterine artery is isolated over a distance of about 2 cm. The vascular clip is placed over the uterine artery. Yasargil Clips are applied exclusively in patients of intervention group. Myomectomy is performed in identical fashion in both groups. At the end of myomectomy the vessel clips are removed. The metroplasty is controlled for hemostasis after reopening of the uterine vessels.

Control group

Conventional laparoscopic myomectomy is performed. (No intervention to temporarily occlude uterine arteries is made)

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION
