Comparison of the influence of three fibroid treatment options: supracervical hysterectomy, ulipristal acetate and uterine artery embolization on ovarian reserve – an observational study

Influence of ulipristal acetate therapy compared with uterine artery embolization on fibroid volume and vascularity indices assessed by three-dimensional ultrasound: prospective observational study.

OBJECTIVE To compare the effects of two alternative treatment options for uterine fibroids, ulipristal acetate (UPA) and uterine artery embolization (UAE), on fibroid volume and vascularity at 3-month follow-up. METHODS Premenopausal patients with symptomatic, intramural uterine fibroids were included in this prospective case-control study. Seventeen patients who qualified for preoperative UP...

Loss of ovarian reserve after uterine artery embolization: a randomized comparison with hysterectomy.

BACKGROUND Ovarian failure as a complication of uterine artery embolization (UAE) for symptomatic uterine fibroids has raised concerns about this new treatment modality. METHODS We investigated the occurrence of ovarian reserve reduction in a randomized trial comparing UAE and hysterectomy by measuring follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) and anti-Mullerian hormone (AMH). A total of 177 pre-men...

Tubo-Ovarian Abscess after Uterine Artery Embolization for Uterine Fibroid

Tubo-ovarian abscess is a rare but potentially serious event that can occur after uterine artery embolization (UAE). We describe herein two cases of severe inflammatory tubo-ovarian abscesses. Two women presented with severe abdominal pain, cramping, and fever several months after UAE. Abdominal computed tomography demonstrated an enlarged tubo-ovarian mass, suggestive of an abscess. Percutaneo...

Pre-operative Uterine Artery Embolization Reduces Morbidity of Hysterectomy for Fibroid Uteri: a Retrospective Study

study the effects of low level laser diode on no production and healing of diabetic and cortisone acetate and normal wounded sd rats

nitric oxide (no) is a small molecule synthesized by most of mammalian cells with diverse biological activities including vasodilatation, host defense and wound healing. impaired wound healing is a common occurrence among diabetics and patients receiving glucocorticoid therapy. on the other hand the application of laser in biomedical area have been increased. thus, the current studies were desi...
