Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare two surgical techniques for reducing blood loss during transabdominal myomectomy in women with symptomatic uterine fibroids. The main question it aims to answer is whether bilateral uterine artery ligation reduces intraoperative blood loss more effectively than pericervical mechanical tourniquet application, without increasing operative complications. Researchers will compare bilateral uterine artery ligation with pericervical mechanical tourniquet application during open myomectomy to evaluate blood loss and surgical safety. Participants will undergo elective transabdominal myomectomy and will be randomly assigned to one of the two vascular control techniques before myoma enucleation.
