 Lupine Publishers | Interventions in Gynecology and Women's Healthcare Keywords: Mucinous ovarian tumor; Mural nodule; Anaplastic carcinoma; Angiosarcoma; Poorly differentiated carcinoma; Poor prognosis Introduction Mucinous tumors of the ovary account for about 15% of all ovarian tumors; 80% are benign, while only 3-4% are invasive carcinoma; the remainder are borderline tumors [1]. Rarely, mucinous tumors may exhibit mural nodules containing a carcinomatous or sarcomatous component; these mural nodules are more commonly associated with mucinous borderline tumors but can also arise within mucinous carcinoma [1, 2]. Prat and Scully first described mucinous ovarian tumors with mural nodules in a series of 7 cases in 1979; these lesions were termed mucinous tumors with sarcoma-like nodules [3,4]. However, classification of mural nodules arising in mucinous ovarian tumors remains unclear, and several authors have proposed different classification systems [5-14]. Anaplastic ca...

Lupine Publishers | Per-Cervical Uterine Artery Tourniquet Versus Rectal Misoprostol in Reducing Blood Loss During Abdominal Myomectomy: A Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial

 Lupine Publishers | Interventions in Gynecology and Women's Healthcare Abstract Introduction: Uterine myomas are smooth muscle tumor and uterine connective tissues. Myomas occur in women of reproductive age who may represent menorrhagia, abdominal weight, effects of stress and infertility. Myomas symptoms may be affected by the tumor’s size, number, and site. Myomectomy is known as a significant option for women with symptomatic leiomyomas and want potential pregnancy. Myomectomy is the removal of myoma(s) from the womb. Often intraoperative bleeding is often an issue in this procedure, suggesting blood transfusion in up to 20 percent of women and conversion to hysterectomy in 2 percent of women. Therefore, during abdominal myomectomy, several approaches are used to minimize blood loss. One of these is uterine artery interventions such as; peri cervical mechanical tourniquet, bilateral uterine ligation, embolization of the uterine artery, and hormonal tourniquets such as vas...
