Myomectomy was performed for relatively younger women with lower parity, higher Hb. level and smaller uterine and fioid sizes as compared to Hysterectomy (P<0.001).Myomectomy associated with a significantly higher rate of postoperative blood transfusion, postoperative pyrexia and duration of hospitalization than Hysterectomy (p<0.001).<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> <span style="font-size:14.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";
