BLOODLESS PROCEDURE AVOIDS HYSTERECTOMY: UTERINE FIBROID EMBOLIZATION

Featuring: Magdy P. Milad, MD, MS, ​Howard B. Chrisman, MD, and Robert L. Vogelzang, MD

Episode Summary

​In this video, Magdy P. Milad, MD, MS, chief of Minimally Invasive Gynecologic Surgery, works with Howard B. Chrisman, MD, and Robert L. Vogelzang, MD, on a uterine fibroid embolization procedure, avoiding a hysterectomy. Dr. Vogelzang is the Albert Nemcek Education Professor of Radiology at Northwestern Medicine. Dr. Chrisman is an interventional radiologist, as well as the president and CEO of Northwestern Memorial HealthCare.

The Northwestern Medicine Center for Complex Gynecology offers uterine-sparing procedures like uterine fibroid embolization and myectomy, often together. In this video, the patient begins in Interventional Radiology with Dr. Chrisman, undergoing a uterine fibroid embolization. Only hours later, Dr. Milad performs a nearly bloodless re-embolization to treat the adenomyosis. 

Tune in to watch the full multimodal procedure, all taking place in one setting in less than 24 hours.
