Color Doppler Misoprostol Response Study (CDMRS): An Evaluation Tool for Patients Awaiting Myomectomy

摘要

Background: Uterine myomas (fibroids) are benign tumors of the uterus. Myomectomy, the surgical removal of myoma, is an important treatment option. The major complication associated with myomectomy is excessive bleeding. Many interventions have been used to reduce bleeding during myomectomy. Misoprostol produces uterine contraction, thereby reducing blood supply to the myometrium and in the myoma; it can be used as an alternative to uterine artery occlusion or paracervical tourniquet to reduce blood flow during myomectomy. The Color Doppler Misoprostol Response Study (CDMRS) is a study planned to assess the vascularity of the myoma in patients with fibroid uterus and note the changes after misoprostol administration.
