The lack of a uterine defect following RFA in this case may have allowed this patient to progress to term without uterine rupture as has been reported with conventional myomectomy.
The use of RFA in infertile women needs further study, and the decision to perform a cesarean section in women who have had RFA needs to be evaluated.
The potential to treat many fibroid patients without requirement for subsequent cesarean section also needs further study.
