Safety and Efficacy of High Intensity Focused Ultrasound Ablation Compared With Myomectomy in Uterine Fibroids:A Randomized Controlled Study
Uterine fibroids (leiomyomas) are common in reproductive aged women. Patients are seeking
new ways to treat symptomatic uterine fibroids that allow them to avoid surgery. High
intensity focused ultrasound therapy (HIFU) is a novel non-invasive method for uterine
fibroid. Preliminary clinical studies proved HIFU ablation is a safe and effective
technology. However, it is not clear whether HIFU has superiority over traditional surgery
on satisfaction and adverse impact.The study is to confirm these questions.
