Submucous myomas represent one of the main indications of operative hysteroscopy. Since 1976 when Neuwirth and Amin reported the first five cases of excision of submucous myomas , several techniques have been developed in order to render hysteroscopic myomectomy a safe and effective procedure . Hysteroscopic myomectomy is currently considered the "gold standard" minimally invasive approach for the treatment of symptomatic submucous myomas . Patients undergoing hysteroscopic myomectomy are liable to significant blood loss, and hemodynamic and hematological disturbances. Excessive bleeding during hysteroscopic myomectomy remains a major challenge for the endoscopic gynecological surgeons. Many interventions were introduced to reduce the risk of bleeding during myomectomy. These include the use of utero-tonics such as oxytocin, or the use of anti-fibrinolytics such as tranexamic acid . The potential advantage of oxytocin infusion during hysteroscopic myomectomy is that it can maintains uterine contractility throughout the procedure, and thus, reduce blood loss . Carbetocin (1-deamino-1-monocarba-(0-2-methyltyrosine)-oxytocin) is a long-acting synthetic agonist analogue of the human oxytocin. When injected to a woman, it induces uterine contractions . Although many interventions have been described to reduce the intraoperative blood loss during hysteroscopic myomectomy, there is a need for a well-designed randomized controlled trials to identify the most efficient interventions, with reasonable safety profiles, to help the perform a safe and curative surgery.
