Uterine fibroids occur in approximately two to ten percent of pregnancies. Surgical removal of these fibroids through abdominal myomectomy is typically avoided while a patient is pregnant because of the severe dangers of maternal haemorrhage and poor outcomes for the foetus. This case study details an abdominal myomectomy carried out on a patient carrying a twin pregnancy. It examines the specific surgical difficulties encountered during the intervention, details the clinical results, and outlines the management strategies implemented to address and overcome the associated procedural risks.
Managing large uterine fibroids in pregnancy is exceptionally difficult because conventional surgical removal carries severe risks to both the mother and the unborn child. Documenting practical surgical methods and outcomes in complex cases, such as multiple pregnancies, helps clinicians better understand how to navigate high-risk interventions when surgery becomes unavoidable.
The abstract does not indicate an application pathway or commercialisation potential, as it is a single clinical case report focusing on surgical management.

Uterine fibroids affect 2-10% of pregnant women. Due to the high risk of haemorrhage and adverse foetal outcomes, abdominal myomectomy is often avoided during pregnancy. We present here a case of myomectomy in twin pregnancy highlighting the challenges associated with the procedure, its outcomes, and strategies adopted to overcome challenges.
