An Alternative Treatment for Uterine Fibroids and Adenomyosis: High-intensity Focused Ultrasound

Uterine fibroids and adenomyosis are benign tumors commonly seen in gynecology clinics, more than cancers of the cervix or uterine cancers. Surgical methods for adenomyosis are often unsatisfactory, difficult, and not reproducible. Ultrasound (US)-guided high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) (US-guided HIFU) adds another dimension to surgery for the treatment of fibroids and adenomyosis. It offers patients an alternative choice to be treated. US-guided HIFU revolutionizes the art of surgery and is a new disruption in the world of medicine.
