Abstract Objective The Aim of the study is to compare between transverse and longitudinal uterine incision in abdominal myomectomy regarding intraoperative blood loss Design: A randomized Controlled interventional study. Setting Ain Shams Maternity teaching hospital. Patients and methods 52 patients undergoing abdominal myomectomy for single myoma were involved The patients were randomized into two groups that showed no significant difference in demographic data, characters of myoma or indication of surgery Results Our results proved that there was no significant difference between both incisions regarding intra-operative blood loss, need for blood transfusion, post-operative Hgb drop, operative time or incidence of postoperative fever. Conclusion Transverse uterine incision for myomectomy does not cause more blood loss than longitudinal incision. There is no difference between both incisions in operative time or postoperative complications Trial identifier: NCT03009812, MY-789

Abstract Background It is unclear whether transverse uterine incision is non-inferior to longitudinal incision during myomectomy with regard to bleeding. Our aim was to compare between transverse and longitudinal uterine incisions in myomectomy. Methods A parallel randomized controlled single-blinded study in a university affiliated hospital, in the period between January 2017 and April 2018, in which 52 women candidates for abdominal myomectomy were randomized into transverse uterine incision or longitudinal uterine incision groups (26 in each group). Intraoperative blood loss (estimated directly by blood volume in suction bottle and linen towels and indirectly by difference between preoperative and postoperative hematocrit), operative time and postoperative fever were analyzed. Results No statistically significant difference was found between transverse and longitudinal incisions regarding intraoperative blood loss (389.7 ± 98.56 ml vs 485.04 ± 230.6 ml respectively, p value = 0.07), operative time (59.96 ± 16.78 min vs 66.58 ± 17.33 min respectively, p value = 0.18), and postoperative fever (4% vs 8.33%, p value = 0.6). Conclusion Transverse uterine incision does not cause more blood loss than longitudinal incision and is a reasonable option during abdominal myomectomy.

Abstract Background It has long been believed that longitudinal uterine incision causes less blood loss than transverse incision in myomectomy, yet knowledge of detailed anatomy of vascular supply of a myoma suggests that transverse incision would be a safe choice. Our aim was to compare between transverse and longitudinal uterine incisions in myomectomy. Methods A randomized controlled study in a university affiliated hospital, in which 52 women candidates for abdominal myomectomy were randomized into transverse uterine incision or longitudinal uterine incision groups. Intraoperative blood loss, operative time and postoperative fever were analyzed. Results No statistically significant difference was found between transverse and longitudinal incisions regarding intraoperative blood loss (389.7 ± 98.56 ml vs 485.04 ± 230.6 ml respectively, p value=0.07), operative time (59.96 ± 16.78 min vs 66.58 ± 17.33 min respectively, p value=0.18), and postoperative fever (4% vs 8.33%, p value=0.6).

AbstractObjective:This trial aimed to compare the guillotine technique of tonsillectomy with ‘cold steel’ dissection, the current ‘gold standard’.Design:A single centre, randomised, controlled trial.Methods:One hundred children aged 3 to 11 years who were listed for bilateral tonsillectomy were recruited. Patients had one tonsil removed by each technique, and were blinded to the side. The operative time, intra-operative blood loss, haemostasis requirement and post-operative pain scores were recorded and compared.Results:Operative time and intra-operative blood loss were both significantly less for the guillotine technique (p < 0.001) and there was a significantly reduced haemostasis requirement (p < 0.001). Pain was also less on the guillotine side (p < 0.001). There were no tonsillar remnants or palatal trauma for either technique. There was no significant difference between techniques in the frequency of secondary haemorrhage.Conclusion:This study provides level Ib evidence that guillotine tonsillectomy in children with mobile tonsils is an effective and time-efficient procedure which produces less intra-operative blood loss and post-operative pain than cold steel dissection.

Abstract Purpose New energy-based sutureless vessel ligation devices, such as the Thunderbeat (Olympus Medical Systems Corp., Tokyo, Japan), could reduce operative time and limit blood loss in head and neck surgery; however, efficacy and safety in major head and neck surgery have not been investigated in a prospective, randomized study. Methods This prospective, double-arm, randomized controlled trial consisted of two parts: total laryngectomy (TL) and neck dissection (ND). Thirty patients planned for TL were randomized in two groups. For the ND part, forty-two operative sides were likewise randomized. In both parts, Thunderbeat was used in addition to the standard instrumentation in the intervention groups, while only standard instrumentation was used in the control groups. Primary outcome values were blood loss, operative time and complication rate. Results For the TL part there was no difference in mean blood loss (p = 0.062), operative time (p = 0.512) and complications (p = 0.662) between both hemostatic techniques. For the neck dissection part, there was a reduction in blood loss (mean 210 mL versus 431 mL, p = 0.046) and in operative time (median 101 (IQR 85–130) minutes versus 150 (IQR 130–199) minutes, p = 0.014) when Thunderbeat was used. There was no difference in complication rate between both hemostatic systems (p = 0.261). Conclusion The Thunderbeat hemostatic device significantly reduces operative blood loss and operative time for neck dissections, without increase in complications. In TL, blood loss using Thunderbeat was comparable with the standard technique, but the operative time tended to be shorter.

Background: Uterine leiomyomas are benign tumors of the uterus, which represent the most common neoplasms in women of reproductive age, and have a lifetime incidence of approximately 70% in the general population. The objective of this study was to assess the effect of using a single pre-operative dose of IV 100 μg Carbetocin on intra-operative blood loss in abdominal myomectomy surgeries.Methods: In a randomized double-blind placebo-controlled trial, 86 women undergoing abdominal myomectomy for symptomatic uterine leiomyomas were randomly assigned to receive a single dose of pre-operative of IV 100 μg Carbetocin (n = 43) or placebo (n = 43) just before the operation. The primary outcome was intra-operative blood loss.Results: Intra-operative blood loss was significantly lower in those women randomized to receive IV Carbetocin versus the placebo group (714.19±186.27 ml versus 1033.49±140.9 ml), p = 0.0001 The incidence of blood transfusion was increased in placebo group (69.8%) compared with (18.6%) in Carbetocin group, (P = 0.0001). Also, there was a significant reduction in operative time in Carbetocin group (66.35%±10.18) compared with placebo group (95.95±9.16), (P = 0.0001).Conclusions: A single pre-operative dose of IV Carbetocin (100 μg) is a simple applicable method for reducing intra-operative blood loss and operative time in abdominal myomectomy.

Background: PPH is the prime cause of maternal mortality worldwide. The incidence of PPH can be drastically combatted by application of uterotonic in active management of third stage labour. Timing of its administration is a matter of concern. This study aimed to assess whether timing of administration of oxytocin would have any impact on incidence or mean blood loss of PPH.Methods: It was a single blinded randomized controlled trial conducted in the department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Bankura Sammilani Medical College for 6 months where 100 antenatal mothers admitted for normal delivery in labour room were allocated randomly in study and control group considering inclusion and exclusion criteria. Incidence of PPH and mean blood loss had been identified clinically by following them for 24 hours.Results: Only 9% of study population had experienced PPH. There was no statistically significant difference in incidence of PPH with difference in timing of administration of oxytocin (p >0.05). But there was statistically significant decrease in mean blood loss if oxytocin was administered before the placental delivery. The mean blood loss with oxytocin administered before placental delivery was 296.8 ml (102.45) and after placental delivery was 452.0 (128.87) ml respectively.Conclusions: Policy makers should keep in mind not only the incidence of PPH, but the mean blood loss amount too in a setting where anaemia in pregnancy is quite prevalent.
