Abstract:
Nowadays several minimally invasive techniques such as laparoscopy, hysteroscopy, uterine artery embolization and high-intensity focused ultrasound ( HIFU) have extended deeply into many aspects in the treatment of gynecological diseases.In practice, minimally invasive techniques have many advantages which are not available in conventional technology.In the treatment of adenomyosis, minimally invasive techniques also show superior advantages to other techniques.This paper reviews and summarizes literatures on laparoscopic excision of adenomyosis lesion, laparoscopic excision of adenomyosis lesion combined with uterine artery embolization, hysteroscopic endometrial and endometrial-myometrial junction resection, uterine artery embolization, and high-frequency focused ultrasound in the treatment of uterine adenomyosis.
