Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of uterine artery embolization
(UAE) with gelatin sponge particles for symptomatic focal and diffuse
adenomyosis. Materials and Methods: This was a retrospective study
conducted between January 2014 and December 2019. All women underwent UAE for
symptomatic adenomyosis without leiomyomas. Gelatin sponge particles were used in
all cases. Patients were assessed for effectiveness of symptom control, changes
in uterine volume, and degree of tumor necrosis on magnetic resonance (MR)
imaging. Results: One hundred and sixty-three patients underwent UAE.
There were statistically significant differences in bleeding score, pain score,
and uterine volume at three months after UAE (P
