Conservative surgical management of uterine myomas.

Abstract:

:Uterine fibroids are a major gynecologic problem in American women, and several alternatives have been developed. Conservative treatment, with the goal of treating the fibroid but retaining the uterus, is a frequent choice among women who require therapy during their early to middle reproductive years. A variety of conservative surgical approaches exist; each has advantages and disadvantages for the clinician and the patient. Some are well-established techniques, whereas others are still in the investigational stage. None has been evaluated adequately for its effects on future fertility. To this end, it is imperative that investigators continue to evaluate these surgical procedures so that the clinician can provide accurate and comprehensive information when faced with a patient who desires one or more of these approaches. Furthermore, it is critical for the practitioner to stay informed about these procedures so that patients can be given a full complement of options.
