Hemodynamic effects of intramyometrial epinephrine injection for blood loss reduction in laparoscopic myomectomy

To evaluate changes in hemodynamic effects of intramyometrial epinephrine injection for blood loss reduction in laparoscopic myomectomy. A total of 185 women with symptomatic uterine fibroids who underwent laparoscopic myomectomy were enrolled in this study. Eighty-six women (study collective) received an intramyometrial injection of epinephrine and were compared to ninety-nine women (control collective) who underwent laparoscopic myomectomy without an intramyometrial epinephrine injection. Demographic parameters, change of hemodynamic parameters during surgery as well as hemoglobin drop after surgery were analyzed. In the study collective maximum systolic blood pressure (p
