Notes: S.D. = standard deviation, S.E. = standard error, C.I. = confidence interval. The size of fibroids was measured by consultant gynecologist using a high-resolution transvaginal ultrasound.
Abbreviations: MAP, mean arterial blood pressure; EBL, estimated blood loss; TCRE, trans-cervical resection of the endometrium.
