EFFICACY AND SAFETY OF UTERINE-SPARING TECHNIQUES INCLUDING HYSTEROSCOPIC RESECTION, ENDOMETRIAL ABLATION, AND UTERINE ARTERY EMBOLIZATION IN THE MANAGEMENT OF CHRONIC ABNORMAL UTERINE BLEEDING

Chronic abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB) is a prevalent gynecological condition that significantly impacts the quality of life of affected individuals. Traditional management often included hysterectomy, but uterine-sparing techniques such as hysteroscopic resection, endometrial ablation, and uterine artery embolization (UAE) are now widely adopted. This paper explores the efficacy and safety of these interventions, evaluating their effectiveness in symptom relief, recurrence rates, patient satisfaction, and complications. The findings indicate that these techniques provide effective symptom control with fewer complications than hysterectomy, though long-term recurrence varies. The paper also highlights key clinical considerations, including patient selection criteria, procedural risks, and comparative advantages of each method.
