Interventional radiology is continuing to reshape current practice in many specialties of clinical care. It is a relatively new and innovative branch of medicine in which physicians treat diseases non-operatively through small catheters guided to the target by fluoroscopic and other imaging modalities. The aim is to provide image-guided, minimally invasive alternatives to traditional surgical and medical procedures in suitable cohorts of patients. Procedures which previously required major surgery can now be performed by interventional radiologists, sometimes on an outpatient basis, with little patient discomfort. In this review, we highlight the importance of interventional radiology in treating a comprehensive range of obstetric and gynaecological pathologies.
介入放射学正在继续重塑许多临床专业领域的当前实践。它是医学中一个相对较新和创新的分支，医生通过荧光透视和其他成像方式引导的小导管对疾病进行非手术治疗。其目的是为合适的患者群体提供以图像为导向的微创替代传统手术和医疗程序。以前需要大手术的程序现在可以由介入放射科医生完成，有时可以在门诊基础上进行，患者不适感很小。在这篇综述中，我们强调了介入放射学在治疗一系列全面的产科和妇科疾病中的重要性。
