Uterine Fibroid Embolization at Emory
Do you suffer from the discomfort of uterine fibroids?
It's time to learn about our minimally invasive treatment option - an alternative to hysterectomy.
In the past, treatment of uterine fibroids has been limited to surgery, either hysterectomy (removal of the uterus) or myomectomy (removal of the fibroid). An abdominal hysterectomy requires three to four days of hospitalization as well as four to six weeks of recovery. Since the early 1990s, uterine fibroid embolization (UFE), also called uterine artery embolization (UAE), has been a safe and highly effective treatment for fibroids.
UFE employs the same minimally invasive techniques that interventional radiologists have been using for more than 20 years to control pelvic bleeding. Thousands of procedures, including more than 500 at Emory alone, have been successfully performed worldwide. UFE is now widely accepted in the United States and Europe as a viable alternative to surgery for uterine fibroids.
Complete with world-class care, clinical expertise and innovative research, Emory is committed to providing the highest-quality patient care. Emory Radiology pairs expert, subspecialty-trained interventional radiologists with the latest in imaging technology to offer you the most accurate diagnosis and treatment options available.
