Transvaginal radiofrequency ablation for uterine myomas: A preliminary ecuadorian study
TVRFA significantly reduced both uterine and myoma volumes, supporting its role as a minimally invasive alternative for fibroid management. However, the observed complication rate, particularly intestinal perforation, requires critical attention to operator training and procedural refinements. Prospective studies with standardized symptom measures are warranted.
