- Abstract
Uterine polyfibromatosis is one of the most common solid tumours of the uterus. Regarding the therapeutic options, especially for young female patients, the embolization of the uterus arteries is a minimally invasive, efficient procedure with a reduced rate of secondary reactions. The embolization of the uterus arteries is an interventional technique, with increased efficiency in reducing and even in stopping the haemorrhage in female patients with FIGO IIIB or IV staged cervical neoplasm, playing an important part in increasing the quality of life. We present our experience in the interventional treatment of solid uterine tumours, taking into account that during the period 1.01.2013 - 31.12.2016, at the Obstetrics- Gynaecology Clinic of the Bucharest Emergency University Hospital, the embolization of uterine arteries for haemostatic purposes was performed in 23 female patients diagnosed with cervical neoplasm staged IIIB or IV and in 882 female patients with uterine polyfibromatosis.
