Abstract
Radiofrequency myolysis is a method for preserving uterus and fecundity, and due to its more non-invasive and simpler operation, it is now frequently carried out to cure the uterine myomas. However, not long time has passed since this operation started, and little studies were conducted on its complications and side effects. Therefore, since the authors experienced the formation of an abscess in uterus after radiofrequency myolysis of uterine myoma, we hereby report the case.
