Abstract
Purpose of review: This review highlights important advances in image-guided therapies for patients with benign complex gynecological conditions, beyond uterine artery embolization for leiomyomata (fibroids).
Recent findings: A comprehensive search was conducted in PubMed (NLM), Embase (Ovid), and Web of Science Core Collection (Clarivate) to find English-written articles on interventional radiology gynecologic procedures, including cryotherapy for abdominal wall endometriosis, uterine artery embolization for adenomyosis, embolization for pelvic venous disorder, and ultrasound-guided biopsies for uterine myometrial tumors, focusing on articles published in the previous 18 months.
Summary: The role of interventional radiology has been expanding in complex benign gynecologic conditions with recent advances and new applications.
