Abstract:
Radiofrequency myolysis does not require general anesthesia and is safe and effective treatment for uterine myomas tried to women in women who wish to conserve the uterus. However, a controversial issue is whether radiofrequency myolysis is safe to women who desire future pregnancies. We report a case who experienced full term spontaneous vaginal delivery without uterine rupture after radiofrequency myolysis.
