While both local vasoconstrictors and tourniquet application are recognized methods for blood loss control, there is a paucity of head-to-head randomized controlled trials directly comparing these two distinct approaches in laparoscopic myomectomy. Existing data often compare these methods to no intervention or to other less common techniques. A direct comparison is essential to determine which method offers superior hemostasis with an acceptable safety profile in the laparoscopic setting. This study aims to address this gap in the literature.

| Local Myometrial Epinephrine Injection | Procedure | Approximately 5-10 mL of the diluted epinephrine will be injected into the myometrium surrounding each fibroid, specifically at the base of the myoma and along the planned incision line, using a laparoscopic injection needle. |
