Fibroids of a maximum diameter ≥30 mm or multiple (≥2) fibroids decrease the IPR, CPR and LBR compared with the control group, while the smaller ones or single fibroid has no impact on IVF outcomes. Conclusions: FIGO type 3 fibroid ≥30 mm or multiple fibroids might exert deleterious ...
1. Subserosal fibroids (FIGO Type 2): These fibroids are located on the outer surface of the uterus and can protrude into the pelvic cavity. 2. Intramural fibroids (FIGO Type 3): These fibroids are located within the muscular wall of the uterus. 3. Submucosal fibroids (FIGO Type 0): ...

Leiomyomas (AUB-L; uterine fibroids) Leiomyomas are prevalent benign tumors comprising smooth muscle cells and fibroblasts while being rich in extracellular matrix. Their prevalence increases with age and has been reported to be 69% in white women and 83% in black women by the age of 50.64 Wh...
Even though uterine fibroids are extremely common, location tends to play a pivotal role in whether they are symptomatic or cause issues with fertility. Submucosal fibroids have the most profound impact on fertility and bleeding and are thus most important to address. Surgical excision of submucosal...
However, MRI allows for high-resolution, multiplanar visualization of leiomyomata that affords a more accurate assessment than ultrasound, particularly when fibroids are numerous. The FIGO system was developed in order to more uniformly and consistently describe and classify uterine fibroids. In this ...
Figo Class 1This preliminary study shows that MRgFUS can be a feasible treatment option for FIGO class 1 uterine fibroids. Shrinkage of fibroids by MRgFUS can obviate or facilitate subsequent surgical intervention in selected cases.doi:10.1016/j.ejogrb.2017.12.025Mashiach, Roy...
The aim of the study described here was to compare the effectiveness of focused ultrasound surgery (FUS), which uses high-intensity focused ultrasound to perform tissue ablation, with that of hysteroscopic transcervical resection of myoma (TCRM) for the treatment of type 2 submucosal fibroids. A...
