Pregnancy after transcervical radiofrequency ablation guided by intrauterine sonography: Case report

Abstract

Uterine fibroids are a prevalent disorder; with the exception of myomectomy, there are no treatments that are generally accepted as compatible with future fertility and fecundity. Radiofrequency ablation is a minimally invasive treatment modality for uterine fibroids that results in coagulative necrosis and fibroid volume reduction. There have been few reports of pregnancy after laparoscopic and transvaginal radiofrequency ablation of fibroids and no previous reports after a transcervical approach. We report the outcome of the first viable pregnancy after intrauterine sonography-guided radiofrequency ablation of a uterine fibroid. © 2014 Springer-Verlag.
