title: Management of fibroids.
abstract: This review covers literature published between December 1990 and November 1991. It shows a continuous outpouring of publications on the use of gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonists and operative hysteroscopy as part of the background of alternatives to hysterectomy. The new technologies question traditional management of fibroids, which may vary considerably in different areas. Abdominal myomectomy, which never received adequate recognition as an alternative in the past, is also discussed. The review concludes with a section on abdominal hysterectomy.
