Safety of percutaneous microwave ablation under local anesthesia for uterine fibroids and adenomyosis
This study addresses a critical gap in the literature by investigating the safety of ultrasound-guided microwave ablation (MWA) for uterine fibroids (UFs) and adenomyosis (AM) under local anesthesia. Our results demonstrated the overall AE rate for UFs and AM following MWA was 77.32%, with AM and higher transformed symptom severity scores identified as significant independent risk factors. Given the differences in AE risk between UFs and AM, as well as related risk factors, tailored treatment protocols should be considered to optimize outcomes.
