Over the study period, the overall number of surgeries for fibroids increased by 44.2% with minimally invasive hysterectomy responsible for the majority of this increase. The proportion of patients who underwent myomectomy significantly increased (20.85% to 24.62%,\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">p<\/jats:italic>\n                      value &lt;0.0001), whereas hysterectomy significantly decreased (79.15% to 75.38%,\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">p<\/jats:italic>\n                      value &lt;0.0001).

Non-Hispanic Black (adjusted odds ratio [aOR]: 3.55, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 3.23\u20133.89), Asian (aOR: 3.26, 95% CI: 2.80\u20133.80), and Hispanic Black (aOR: 5.50, 95% CI: 3.29\u20139.25) women were more likely to undergo myomectomy than non-Hispanic White women.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Surgical treatment for fibroids increased over time, shifting toward uterine preservation. Myomectomy performance is associated with lower age and BMI and identifying as a racial and\/or ethnic minority. These trends may represent improved access to surgical treatment of fibroids, resulting from the growth of minimally invasive gynecological surgery as a specialty and advocacy for equitable health care for all patients.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1089\/jwh.2024.0131","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,10,7]],"date-time":"2024-10-07T21:29:36Z","timestamp":1728336576000},"page":"1528-1535","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Surgical Management of Fibroids: A Changing Landscape"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"33","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6053-4923","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Lulu","family":"Yu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Obstetrics and Gynecology, Northwestern Feinberg School of Medicine, Chicago, IL, USA."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Regina","family":"Huang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Obstetrics and Gynecology, Washington University in St. Louis, St. Louis, MO, USA."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Chioma","family":"Okuagu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Obstetrics and Gynecology, Washington University in St. Louis, St. Louis, MO, USA."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Elise","family":"Bardawil","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Obstetrics and Gynecology, Washington University in St. Louis, St. Louis, MO, USA."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Joyce","family":"Balls-Berry","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Neurology, Washington University in St. Louis, St. Louis, MO, USA."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Whitney Trotter","family":"Ross","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Obstetrics and Gynecology, Washington University in St. Louis, St. Louis, MO, USA."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,11,4]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_4_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1089\/jwh.2018.7076"},{"key":"e_1_3_4_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ajog.2011.07.008"},{"key":"e_1_3_4_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.fertnstert.2013.03.002"},{"key":"e_1_3_4_5_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ogc.2016.11.007"},{"key":"e_1_3_4_6_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ajog.2013.08.008"},{"key":"e_1_3_4_7_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.fertnstert.2013.02.017"},{"key":"e_1_3_4_8_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2105\/AJPH.2008.133702"},{"key":"e_1_3_4_9_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jmig.2014.01.012"},{"key":"e_1_3_4_10_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/AOG.0000000000002738"},{"key":"e_1_3_4_11_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jmig.2007.07.014"},{"key":"e_1_3_4_12_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jmig.2013.08.709"},{"key":"e_1_3_4_13_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jmig.2018.10.018"},{"key":"e_1_3_4_14_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/AOG.0000000000001160"},{"issue":"10","key":"e_1_3_4_15_2","first-page":"1336","article-title":"Inpatient surgical treatment patterns for patients with uterine fibroids in the United States, 1998\u20132002","volume":"97","author":"Becker ER","year":"2005","unstructured":"Becker ER, , Spalding J, , DuChane J, et al.
