Abstract

The incidence of uterine fibroids, which comprise one of the most common female pelvic tumors, is almost 70-75% for women of reproductive age. With the development of surgical techniques and skills, more individuals prefer minimally invasive methods to treat uterine fibroids. There is no doubt that minimally invasive surgery has broad use for uterine fibroids. Since laparoscopic myomectomy was first performed in 1979, more methods have been used for uterine fibroids, such as laparoscopic hysterectomy, laparoscopic radiofrequency volumetric thermal ablation, and uterine artery embolization, and each has many variations. In this review, we compared these methods of minimally invasive surgery for uterine fibroids, analyzed their benefits and drawbacks, and discussed their future development.
