Surgical and radiological management of uterine fibroids in the UK.
Uterine fibroids remain the most common benign gynaecological pathology and a frequent reason for gynaecological referral and treatment. The range of available treatments is currently undergoing a minor revolution with the introduction of nonsurgical therapies, but their role remains to be established. ⋯ Greater utilization of less invasive endoscopic or vaginal procedures for the management of uterine fibroids seems a reasonable target. In the longer term, it is likely that the various nonsurgical techniques which shrink fibroids and thereby reduce symptoms will have an increasingly important role in the treatment of this common condition.
