About this Activity
Interventional Radiology (IR) is playing an increasingly pivotal role in women’s health by offering minimally invasive treatments for conditions that traditionally required surgery. These procedures often avoid the need for hospitalisation or general anaesthesia, allowing patients to resume normal activities with minimal recovery time.
Dale will showcase key interventions such as endometrial ablation and uterine fibroid embolisation, highlighting how these image-guided procedures expand the treatment options available to women. He will also address the vital role of IR in managing postpartum haemorrhage, demonstrating how minimally invasive techniques can deliver rapid, life-saving interventions.
Through case studies, the module will examine the implications of these interventions, focusing on improved recovery times, fertility preservation, and enhanced quality of life for women. Participants will gain insights into identifying suitable candidates for these procedures, understanding the referral process, and the growing impact of IR in women’s health.
Come join us to gain practical insights into how Interventional Radiology is advancing precision medicine and transforming women’s health.
What You Will Learn
In this one-hour webinar, Dr Dale Creamer will explore:
1. Minimally invasive alternatives to surgery
Understand how endometrial ablation and uterine fibroid embolisation provide effective, uterus-preserving options for abnormal uterine bleeding and fibroids, reducing the need for hysterectomy.
2. Life-saving management of postpartum haemorrhage (PPH)
Explore the critical role of Interventional Radiology in controlling severe PPH, offering rapid, effective solutions that avoid major surgery.
3. Improved recovery and quality of life
Examine how IR procedures shorten recovery times, reduce hospital stays, and preserve fertility, with significant benefits for women’s overall wellbeing.
4.Referral pathways and patient selection
Gain practical insights into identifying appropriate candidates, optimising referrals, and integrating IR into multidisciplinary women’s healthcare.
