Summary
Total abdominal hysterectomy is known to be associated with operative blood loss, which can
lead to patients' morbidity. Misoprostol, a prostaglandin, has been shown to be effective in
reducing operative blood loss during myomectomy. It is the first study to investigate if
preoperative misoprostol is effective in reducing operative blood loss during total abdominal
hysterectomy.
