Reproductive outcome after abdominal myomectomy

Abstract

This is a retrospective study to evaluate the reproductive outcome after abdominal myomectomy. Seventy myomectomies were performed at the Jordan University Hospital over a 10-year period. Fifty-five percent of these patients were infertile at the time of surgery. The most common indication for the myomectomy was a combination of infertility and menorrhagia (34.2%). A successful pregnancy was recorded in 53.8% of those who attempted pregnancy after the operation.
