Fibroid-related quality of life better with myomectomy: study
A randomised trial has compared the procedure with uterine-artery embolisation
Women who opt not to have a hysterectomy for fibroids have a better quality of life if they have a myomectomy than if they undergo uterine-artery embolisation, trial results show.
In the non-blinded FEMME trial conducted at 29 centres of the UK, 254 women with symptomatic uterine fibroids were randomised to one of the two procedures and followed for two years.
