  ABSTRACT: Introduction: Myomectomy during cesarean section has long been a controversial subject. The increased risk of intraoperative hemorrhage and potential hysterectomy has led many teams to contraindicate it, postponing it three to six months after delivery, thus giving more time for uterine involution, myoma shrinkage and reducing operative time and blood loss. Clinical Observation: We report the case of a polymyomectomy after use of a segmental tourniquet and bilateral ligation of the hypogastric arteries during a cesarean section for hemorrhagic placenta previa at the end of a spontaneous pregnancy of 28 weeks of amenorrhea in a 42-year-old nulliparous primigravida patient. Conclusion: Polymyomectomy during cesarean section is possible and requires knowledge of preventive hemostasis techniques and surgical experience.
