Summary
Uterine hemorrhage unresponsive to treatment can be managed with embolization, a minimally invasive procedure. This approach preserves reproductive potential, offering an alternative to hysterectomy.
Area of Science:
- Interventional Radiology
- Vascular Surgery
- Obstetrics & Gynecology
Background:
- Intractable uterine hemorrhage often requires hysterectomy or internal iliac artery ligation.
- These traditional treatments can lead to significant morbidity and loss of reproductive function.
