Comparison of high‐intensity focused ultrasound ablation and secondary myomectomy for recurrent symptomatic uterine fibroids following myomectomy: A retrospective study
BJOG: An International Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology Apr 19, 2020
Liu X, Tang J, Luo Y, et al. - In this retrospective analysis, long‐term symptoms alleviation and re‐intervention of high‐intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) ablation vs secondary myomectomy for women with recurrent symptomatic uterine fibroids following myomectomy were ascertained. Among 188 studied women with recurrent symptomatic uterine fibroids following myomectomy, 101 underwent HIFU ablation and 87 underwent secondary myomectomy at Chinese PLA General Hospital from January 2008 to December 2016. Comparable long‐term alleviation of symptoms with longer time interval to re‐intervention and fewer adverse events were reported among those who underwent HIFU ablation of recurrent symptomatic uterine fibroids when compared with those receiving secondary myomectomy.
