Case discussion on Laparoscopic Myomectomy
Laparoscopic myomectomy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure performed to remove uterine fibroids, which are non-cancerous growths that develop in the uterus. During a laparoscopic myomectomy, the surgeon makes small incisions in the abdomen and inserts a laparoscope, a thin tube with a camera and light, to visualize the uterus and fibroids. The surgeon then uses specialized surgical instruments to remove the fibroids while preserving the healthy tissue of the uterus. Benefits of laparoscopic myomectomy include smaller incisions, less pain and scarring, shorter hospital stays, and quicker recovery times compared to traditional open surgery. However, not all women are candidates for laparoscopic myomectomy, and the procedure may not be appropriate for large or numerous fibroids or certain locations within the uterus.

Massive Transfusion Protocol
Massive Transfusion Protocol (MTP) is a standardized medical procedure activated in cases of severe hemorrhage, typically involving the rapid administration of large volumes of blood products. The goal is to restore circulating volume, maintain hemostasis, and prevent the lethal triad of hypothermia, acidosis, and coagulopathy. MTP usually involves a balanced ratio of packed red blood cells, plasma, and platelets, often in a 1:1:1 ratio. Early activation and coordination among trauma teams, laboratory services, and blood banks are essential for its success.
