Abstract:Purpose
This review compares the efficacy of Uterine Artery Embolization (UAE) and Myomectomy (MYO) in managing symptomatic Uterine Fibroids (UFs) in women who do not want hysterectomy.
Materials and Methods
A meta-analysis was performed on all relative studies. Outcomes evaluated reintervention, UFs scores for quality of life (QOL) and symptom severity, and so on. To determine mean differences (MDs) or odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs), a random or fixed-effects model was utilized.
