Which is statistically safer: a hysterectomy or uterine artery embolization?

UAE: Uae probably safer since done under conscious sedation vs general anesthesia, no risk to ureter, bladder, or bowel.

UAE: Uae is much safer. It is less invasive and has a shorter recovery timer. More importantly the woman gets to keep her uterus.

UAE: Uterine artery embolization has a lower complication rate than total hysterectomy, due to its less invasive nature. However, because of this, it is a less definitive treatment.
