Indicating a turning point for the future treatment of uterine fibroids, this study compares and contrasts conventional surgical treatments with the rapid emergence of uterine artery embolization as an alternative and less invasive procedure. Uterine fibroids, common benign tumors of the uterus and pelvis, are the single most common cause of surgery in women apart from childbirth. The volume provides a very comprehensive account of the epidemiology, pathology, diagnosis and management of uterine fibroids.
