| John C. Lincoln's uterine fibroids treatment is a minimally invasive procedure that removes uterine fibroids quickly and safely. | |
John C. Lincoln Hospitals provide an innovative uterine fibroids treatment that is a much less invasive alternative to hysterectomy. The procedure removes uterine fibroids quickly and safely.
In this uterine fibroids treatment, called uterine fibroid embolization, an interventional radiologist inserts a tiny catheter into the artery at the top of the leg. Only a small incision — a "nick in the skin" — is necessary.
Imaging technologies help guide the catheter to the uterine artery, where particles are injected to block nutrient-rich blood flow to the fibroid, which shrinks over time.

Unlike hysterectomy, in which the uterus is surgically removed, John C. Lincoln’s less invasive treatment for uterine fibroids leaves the uterus intact.
If you've been diagnosed with a uterine fibroid, and you've been told that a hysterectomy may be necessary to remove the fibroid, John C. Lincoln Hospitals invite you to consider your options.
