Abstract
Women with symptomatic uterine fibroids are increasingly seeking alternatives to open surgery. The combination of high resolution magnetic resonance imaging and the application of laser heat permit percutaneous treatment of fibroids under local anaesthetic. This article reviews the technique of interstitial thermo-ablation and other current minimally invasive therapies for symptomatic fibroids.Keywords
