Successful removal of 34 fibroids in uterus-preserving myomectomy: a case report

Estimated to present in 20% to 50% of females, myomas or fibroids are the commonest tumors found in the female genital tract, and known tooccur with increased frequency during the later reproductive years [1,2].Hysterectomy is the established gold standard intervention for uterine fibroids, while myomectomy is preferred in females who desire uterine preservation. In recent times, more minimally invasive techniques have been developed and propagated. While striving to preserve fertility in females of child-bearing age, intervention can be challenging in the presence of multiple large fibroids, especially in cases where hysterectomy would be considered the safer approach .This case report describes the evaluation and treatment of such a 42-year-old female with a multi-fibroid uterus, who desired uterine preservation in order to conceive.
