Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the temporary simultaneous two-arterial occlusions (TESTO) on operative blood loss during laparoscopic myomectomy.

Detailed Description
Significant hemorrhage is major perioperative concern in myomectomy, and can result in need of blood transfusion, conversion to hysterectomy, development of hypovolemic shock and postoperative anemia, and delayed recovery. Therefore, methods to decrease operative blood loss during myomectomy in women wishing to preserve their uterus and fertility are important and must be developed.

Procedure: LM with TESTO
In subjects allocated to the experimental group, the temporary simultaneous two-arterial occlusions (TESTO) procedure was performed to minimize operative blood loss during laparoscopic myomectomy.

Active Comparator: LM without TESTO In the control group, no intervention for the temporary simultaneous two-arterial occlusions (TESTO) procedure was made during laparoscopic myomectomy. |

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- operative blood loss [the day of surgery]
Operative blood loss was calculated by the anesthesiology unit as the difference between the total amount of suction and irrigation plus the difference between the total gauze weight before and after surgery.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- change in hemoglobin [post-operative day 1]
The change in hemoglobin change was defined as the difference between the preoperative hemoglobin level and the hemoglobin level on postoperative day 1.
