This course will provide a comprehensive overview of fibroid treatment strategies for uterine conservation. A methodical and multi-disciplinary approach will be described utilizing both didactics and video review. Participants will be taught multiple surgical techniques for safe and efficient myomectomy including hysteroscopic, laparoscopic, and mini-laparotomy approaches. Novel medical therapies will be reviewed as first line or adjunct treatment options. Indications for alternate fibroid treatment options including uterine artery embolization and focused ultrasound surgery will also be reviewed. Specific attention will be devoted to the logistics of building a multi-disciplinary team for successful treatment of uterine fibroids. Various methods of tissue extraction will be reviewed for removal of large pathology. Furthermore, opportunity will be offered for personalized case review to assist with individualized coaching for the participants.
