0:00:03.559,0:00:08.287
Before starting the myomectomy procedure, the

0:00:08.287,0:00:11.521
surgeon has to pull up the bowel

0:00:11.521,0:00:15.628
with the sterile pack

0:00:15.628,0:00:19.327
so that the bowel will be retracted upwards

0:00:19.327,0:00:25.403
and to facilitate proper and easier visualization

0:00:25.403,0:00:26.754
of the surgical field.

0:00:26.754,0:00:33.376
After proper preparation of retraction of the bowel and

0:00:33.376,0:00:41.016
then insertion of the retractor to widen the surgical field

0:00:41.016,0:00:42.605


0:00:42.605,0:00:48.827
then the next step is to apply tonically?

0:00:48.827,0:00:54.430
because the most important step in a myomectomy is to conduct the surgery with

0:00:54.430,0:00:56.431
less blood loss

0:00:56.431,0:01:01.673
thus, hemostatis or decreasing hemhorrage is a very important step in myomectomy

0:01:01.673,0:01:05.373
because myomectomy is going to be a blind x unless you

0:01:05.373,0:01:09.780
conduct in a way which decrease blood loss

0:01:09.780,0:01:12.308
the interoperative blood loss might be very high.

0:01:12.308,0:01:18.812
There are different techniques but the common method which we use is to apply

0:01:18.812,0:01:24.226
tonicity, which is to use a #8 catheter.

0:01:24.226,0:01:25.904
So we open a window on both sides of

0:01:25.904,0:01:28.367
lateral aspect of the utuerus, then tightly

0:01:28.367,0:01:38.042
close it or suture it, or wrapping the catheter

0:01:38.042,0:01:41.257
so that catheter is going to occlude the

0:01:41.257,0:01:47.263
the uterine arteries on both sides and then decrease the blood flow to the upper part of the uterus

0:01:47.263,0:01:49.099
thereby decrease the blood loss.

0:01:49.099,0:01:53.272
So after applying a tonicy on the lower aspect of the utuerus

0:01:53.272,0:01:58.927
sometimes, depending on the need, the size of the myoma, the tonicy ?

0:01:58.927,0:02:02.567
also on the ovarian vessels might be needed

0:02:02.567,0:02:07.288
but usually tonicy applied on the uterine vessels is usually sufficient

0:02:07.288,0:02:12.909
Currently one can apply or inject a vassopressin

0:02:12.909,0:02:19.616
which is a kind of drug which will decrease the blood loss to the myoma

0:02:19.616,0:02:23.616
and then you can conduct the surgery.
