Surgery is the preferred treatment for symptomatic uterine fibroids. An alternative of hysterectomy to manage symptomatic uterine fibroids is selective uterine artery embolization. We performed a protocol for systematic review and meta-analysis to assess the effectiveness of uterine artery embolization for treating symptomatic uterine fibroids compared with hysterectomy.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Methods:<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>The current systematic review and meta-analysis will be reported following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses Protocol.
