Uterine fibroid embolization is a minimally-invasive treatement for uterine fibroids that can relieve symptoms while allowing the patient to avoid surgery. There is no large surgical incision or scar, less pain than surgery and recovery in 7 to 10 days. This procedure was first performed in the United States in 1997 and Georgetown is recognized world-wide as a leading center in this procedure, with one of the most experienced teams in the world. Georgetown researchers have published more studies on this procedure than any other group in the country. Our team has the knowledge and experience to provide the best in patient evaluation, patient care, and technical expertise to patients interested in evaluating their treatment options.
