[Interdisciplinary stratification of patients with myoma-related symptoms].
With the establishment of uterine artery embolization (UAE), the individualization of treatment of the symptomatic myomatous uterus showed a general progression. The concrete therapy decision is made in an interactive process between doctor and patient. A series of factors influence the choice of a suitable, operative or non-operative, therapeutic procedure. In the weighting of therapeutic options between surgery or UAE, in addition to current results of studies which compare both techniques,recommendations made by expert committees and guidelines are helpful for a competent counseling of patients and additionally supportive in decision processes such as interdisciplinary stratification.
