Baksheeva Method of Clamping the Uterine Arteries

The Baksheev method of clamping the uterine arteries is one of the most effective and safe methods of treating uterine fibroids. It was developed by the Soviet obstetrician-gynecologist Nikolai Stepanovich Baksheev in 1911 and received his name.

The method involves clamping the uterine arteries that supply the uterine fibroids with blood. This leads to a decrease in the size of the fibroid and a decrease in its activity.

Advantages of the Baksheeva arterial clamping method:

  1. High efficiency - the method allows you to reduce the size of fibroids by 70-80%.
  2. Safety – the method does not require surgery and is not associated with the risk of complications.
  3. Quick result – reduction in fibroid size occurs within a few days after the procedure.
  4. Possibility of reuse - the method can be reused in case of recurrence of fibroids.
  5. Low cost - the method is affordable for most women.

However, like any other treatment method, Baksheev artery clamping has its drawbacks. For example, the method may not be effective for large fibroids or fibroids located in hard-to-reach areas. In addition, the procedure may cause discomfort for the patient.

Overall, the Baksheev method of arterial clamping is an effective and safe method of treating fibroids, which can help many women get rid of this disease.



Baksheev – based at the National Medical Research Center named after. ak. A.P. Avtsina is a modern and most advanced center of obstetrics and gynecology in Russia. Recently, in this institution, another new original technique was created to perform clamping of the uterine vessels, realizing the capabilities of the MTTM method.

Clinical trials and the introduction of Baksheeva’s new technique - clamping of the uterine vessels in obstetric practice - gave a scientifically based result: the use of the MTTM technique in obstetric practice leads to changes in hemodynamics in the operated uterus and a significant reduction in the pathology of pregnancy.

The principle of the method is ultrasonic compression
