en Efficacy of microwave ablation therapy for uterine fibroids Radiation Biology Radiation Biology تحقيق بديع Original Research <div style="text-align: justify;">Background: To investigate the efficacy of laparoscopic combined with microwave ablation therapy in treating multiple uterine fibroids and its impact on patients' quality of life. Materials and Methods: This study included a total of 100 patients with uterine fibroids, divided into a laparoscopic group (50 cases) and a laparoscopic combined with microwave ablation group (50 cases), treated with either laparoscopic surgery alone or laparoscopic combined with microwave ablation therapy. General information of the patients, MRI images before and after treatment, contrast-enhanced ultrasound before and after treatment, intraoperative blood loss, operation time, length of hospital stay, time to postoperative ambulation, VAS score, and ovarian function were collected and analyzed. Results: Compared with laparoscopic surgery alone, the laparoscopic combined with microwave ablation group had lower postoperative pain scores, less intraoperative blood loss, and faster postoperative recovery. There was no significant difference in ovarian function indicators after surgery compared with before surgery, indicating no difference in ovarian function and reserve between the two surgical methods. Additionally, the total effective rate of the combined treatment group reached 98%, significantly higher than the 92% in the laparoscopic group. Imaging analysis showed that the structure of surrounding tissues and vascular layout were restored closer to the normal state after combined treatment. Conclusion: Laparoscopic combined with microwave ablation therapy shows superior efficacy and safety in treating multiple uterine fibroids compared to laparoscopic surgery alone, making it an effective method for treating multiple uterine fibroids, worthy of further clinical promotion and application.</div> Uterine fibroids, leiomyoma, laparoscopy, microwave ablation. 91 96 http://ijrr.com/browse.php?a_code=A-10-1-1296&slc_lang=en&sid=1 J.
