Leiomyoma, Laparoscopy
Combined Vaginal Misoprostol and Perivascular Vasopressin
Injection of Vasopressin into the uterine tissue surrounding fibroids constricts blood vessels, and has been found to be beneficial by decreasing blood flow to fibroids, and thereby resulting in less bleeding with removal.
