You certainly have an adequate reason for hysterectomy. The ultimate decision on whether or not to perform it at the time as a cesarean section rests with you and the patient. If she willing and knowingly takes the risks of doing it now vs. doing it later with another surgery, I would do it now. A scheduled c-hyst is less risky than the unscheduled c-hyst we do for complications at the time of C/S.

She has pain with her fibroids requiring narcotics during her pregnancy and has been symptomatic in-between pregnancies. Doing a TAH 6 months postpartum will be her 4th laparotomy.

Well, we don't have UAE here so I would do the TAH after she stopped

breastfeeding or after six months, whatever is later.
