Typhlotomy Followed by Diffuse Paralytic Ileus after Myomectomy in Premenopausal Patient

Abstract

Leiomyomas account for a large part of benign gynecologic surgery. Several approaches have been implemented, each with its benefits and drawbacks. The aim of this study is to present a case of a complicated post-operative course after leiomyoma surgery. We present on a 39-year-old (gravida 0 and para 0) patient who was operated on for multiple leiomyomas and had to undergo two reoperations due to post-operative bowel complications. Leiomyomas represent a common indication for gynecologic surgery. The gynecologic surgeon needs to be familiar with the possible complications since early diagnosis is of great importance.
