چکیده
High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) ablation is the latest advance in surgery. It an accepted treatment for uterine fibroids and adenomyosis Asia. Even though it a non-invasive surgery, with preliminary results of very low complication rate, adverse events complications occur. In modern medicine, patients are likely to file claims should or injury occur fall short expectations. The increasing trend litigations Obstetrics Gynaecology undoubtedly generates anxiety among gynaecologists operating this new surgical technique.
