Assessment of pregnancy outcomes with uterine leiomyomas larger than 10 cm; antepartum and postpartum complications.

摘要

We have found that the increased number of premature deliveries and cesarean deliveries, as well as the increase in postpartum bleeding and infections such as endometritis, may be caused by large uterine myomas. Sonograms in patients with fibroids were reviewed between 2007 and 2009 in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at Ege University to determine the number of fibroids, their sizes, their locations, and relationship with the placenta. Cesarean ratio, preterm loss of pregnancy, and the incidence of postpartum complications were also evaluated.
