Safety of percutaneous microwave ablation under local anesthesia for uterine fibroids and adenomyosis.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

This study explored the incidence of adverse events (AEs) following microwave ablation (MWA) under local anesthesia and analyzed factors related to benign uterine diseases, including uterine fibroids (UFs) and adenomyosis (AM).

Materials and methods

Overall, 366 patients who underwent percutaneous MWA were finally included in this study. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed to identify the main factors affecting AEs.

Results

The overall AEs rate for benign uterine disease was 77.32% (283/366), and was significantly higher in patients with AM than in those with UFs (95.38% vs. 73.42%, p < 0.001). AM (odds ratio (OR) = 3.77, p = 0.039) and higher transformed symptom severity score (higher tSSS) (25-40: OR = 2.98, p = 0.007; >
