[ROLE OF UTERINE ARTERY EMBOLIZATION IN ORGAN-PRESERVING TREATMENT OF ADENOMYOSIS (REVIEW)]

The aim of this work is to review current trends in the minimally invasive treatment of adenomyosis, in particular uterine artery embolization (UAE). Adenomyosis is an unsolved problem in modern gynecology, its clinical manifestations and associated infertility lead to a decrease in the quality of life of women. Advances in imaging are making it possible to diagnose adenomyosis in young women. Today, conservative methods of treating adenomyosis and maintaining fertility are an urgent problem. Uterine artery embolization is a common treatment for uterine fibroids and is gaining popularity as a treatment for adenomyosis. The data reviewed report minimal side effects of UAE and indicate the effectiveness of this method for the treatment of adenomyosis in the short and long term. Despite the promising results, the issue of using UAE for the treatment of adenomyosis requires more detailed study.
