Dear Chantal,

Where, which hospital and who is the doctor that is offering this procedure?

I have just signed up for a trail of the 'Burbank Clip'. This is a

non-surgical treatment for fibroids that involves cutting the blood supply

to the uterus for 6 hours. The clip is inserted through the cervix and the

procedure lasts 45 mnutes. After 6 hours the clip is removed and the blood

supply returns to the uterus but the fibroids are not able to recover.

I have multiple fibroids the largest at 10cm diameter. I was diagnosed when

I got pregnant and had a vaginal delivery with no unusual bleeding. Now I

would like to remove them although I remain symptom free.

Has anyone heard of this technique? It was pioneered in Mexico and the trial

is also underway in Florida somewhere as well as in my town London, Canada.
