It is well known that myomectomy surgery is associated with a higher risk of uterine rupture in later pregnancy. [8] Thus, women who have had myomectomy (with the exception of small submucosal myoma removal via hysteroscopy, or largely pedunculated myoma removal) should get Cesarean delivery to avoid the risk of uterine rupture that is commonly ...
Illustration of uterine fibroids with examples of their possible locations. Uterine artery embolization (UAE, uterine fibroid embolization, or UFE) is a procedure in which an interventional radiologist uses a catheter to deliver small particles that block the blood supply to the uterine body.
Uterine artery embolization (UAE) is a noninvasive procedure that blocks blood flow to fibroids, causing them to shrink. [57] Long-term outcomes with respect to how happy people are with the procedure are similar to that of surgery. [58] There is tentative evidence that traditional surgery may result in better fertility. [58]
Uterine fibroids may be removed and the uterus reconstructed in a procedure called "myomectomy". A myomectomy may be performed through an open incision, laparoscopically, or through the vagina (hysteroscopy). [55] Uterine artery embolization (UAE) is a minimally invasive procedure for treatment of uterine fibroids. Under local anesthesia a ...
Uterine artery embolization (UAE) is a common treatment with the etiology of a leiomyoma. The rate of serious complications is comparable to that of myomectomy or hysterectomy; however, UAE presents an increased risk of minor complications and requiring surgery within two to five years. [68] [69]
The method is quicker and comfortable compared to the conventional procedures currently done for the treatment of uterine fibroids such as hysterectomy, myomectomy or uterine artery embolization. The procedure is usually done on an outpatient basis with the patient leaving the hospital on the same day. [ 9 ]

Uterine artery can arise from the first branch of inferior gluteal artery. It can also arise as the 2nd or 3rd branch from the inferior gluteal artery. On the other hand, uterine artery can be first branch from internal iliac artery before the superior and inferior gluteal arteries branching off from the main arterial trunk.
