Preventing bleeding during fibroid surgery with misoprostol
Part of Cancer, Skin clinical trials.
This trial tests if giving misoprostol before surgery can reduce blood loss during the removal of uterine fibroids (non-cancerous growths). It is for women who need laparoscopic or open surgery for their fibroids.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial compares two surgical techniques to reduce bleeding during surgery to remove fibroids (benign tumors) from the uterus. The goal is to find the safest, least-bloody approach for women who need this procedure.
This trial compares two medications (ergometrine and carbetocin) given during surgery to see which one is better at reducing bleeding while removing fibroids. Both drugs help the uterus contract to control blood loss.
This trial tests if misoprostol, a medication that softens the cervix, helps make hysteroscopic myomectomy (a procedure to remove fibroids through the vagina) easier or safer. It is for women with small, inner-womb fibroids who are scheduled for this surgery.
This study tests if giving misoprostol (a medication given as a rectal suppository) during a hysteroscopic myomectomy helps reduce the amount of fluid used during the surgery. It may lead to a safer procedure for removing small uterine fibroids.
This trial tests whether temporarily clamping the main blood vessels to the uterus during laparoscopic fibroid removal can reduce blood loss. It is for women with up to four fibroids who are planning this type of surgery.
This study tests if blocking blood flow to the uterus and ovaries during minimally invasive fibroid removal surgery helps reduce bleeding. It may be an option if you are having this type of surgery for large or numerous fibroids.
