Highlights From the American Association of Gynecologic

Laparoscopists 32nd Annual Meeting

" One of the major issues discussed at this meeting was the management

of uterine fibroids. Francis L. Hutchins, Jr, MD (Libertyville,

Illinois), chaired a panel discussion entitled " The Obsolescence of

Hysterectomy for the Treatment of Uterine Fibroids. " An expert panel

reviewed some of the promising nonsurgical and surgical therapies

that will likely challenge the future utility of hysterectomy for

uterine fibroids. In addition, global endometrial ablation techniques

and the new hysteroscopic procedure for permanent sterilization were

discussed. These topics are reviewed in this report. "
