Cervical fibroid, due to its location and the vital structures present in the close vicinity, poses a surgical challenge during hysterectomy.
Case:
We report four cases of cervical fibroid managed by surgery. In one of them, ureters were dissected and lateralized from the uterus. Whereas, in the other case, enucleation of a fibroid was done before proceeding with the hysterectomy. The other two cases were managed with polypectomy.
Conclusion:
Good anatomical knowledge and clinical judgment are essential for successful surgical management of cervical fibroids.
