Brief Summary   Uterine leiomyomas are the most common benign tumors of the uterus in women of reproductive age group, with a cumulative incidence of 70%. Symptomatic fibroids can b treated either by medical or surgical management. Fibroids are the leading indication for hysterectomy worldwide.  Myomectomy, however, remains the gold standard for symptomatic women who desire uterine preservation. A major problem that myomectomy poses is excessive blood loss from the increased uterine vasculature.  A number of interventions have been used to decrease the blood loss during myomectomy. Significant reductions in blood loss with misoprostol, vasopressin, bupivacaine plus epinephrine, tranexamic acid, pericervical tourniquet and gelatin-thrombin matrix have been demonstrated in various clinical trials.  In India, no studies have been conducted to compare the efficacy of different combination regimens to control haemorrhage during laparoscopic myomectomy. Thus, we proposed to investigate the efficacy of a single preoperative dose of per rectal misoprostol along with intramyometrial vasopressin over intramyometrial vasopressin alone to decrease blood loss in patients undergoing laparoscopic myomectomy.
