RADIOFREQUENCY ABLATION OF UTERINE FIBROIDS: ADVANCING MINIMALLY INVASIVE TREATMENT FOR WOMEN

Аннотация

Uterine fibroids, or leiomyomas, are benign smooth muscle tumors of the uterus that affect a significant proportion of women during their reproductive years. While many fibroids are asymptomatic, symptomatic cases can lead to significant morbidity, including abnormal uterine bleeding, pelvic pain, and infertility. Traditional treatment options include hysterectomy, myomectomy, and uterine artery embolization (UAE) but their morbidity rate was not satisfactory. Radiofrequency ablation has emerged as a promising technique, offering a minimally invasive approach that targets fibroids directly while preserving the surrounding healthy tissue and uterine integrity. This approach is increasingly recognized for its effectiveness and patient-centered benefits. Radiofrequency ablation of uterine fibroids is a minimally invasive treatment modality for uterine fibroids, offering an effevtive alternative to the traditional surgical interventions. This technique is particularly suitable for women seeking symptom relief with minimal recovery time , desire for future fertility and a low risk of complications.
