MRgFUS for Uterine Myomas: Safety, Effectiveness and Pathogenesis
نویسندگان
چکیده
Purpose Myomas are common benign tumors in woman. Patients prefer non-invasive treatment to preserve fertility and avoid surgery. In 2004 FDA approved MRgFUS for uterine myoma. The current study examined the safety and efficacy of MRgFUS for different myomas characteristics. Methods and Materials: A total of 925 patients, aged 20-55, with symptomatic myomas underwent MRgFUS (2006-2012). Prior to the treatment patients underwent gynecological examinations, MRI, biopsy. Safety was determined by tracking adverse events. Efficacy was assessed by measurement of NPV. MRI with contrast enhancement, symptom scores, treatments durability were also used as efficacy measures.

متن کاملPregnancy and live birth after focused ultrasound surgery for symptomatic focal adenomyosis: a case report.
Adenomyosis is a benign disease whose symptoms mimic those of uterine leiomyoma. Hysterectomy is the treatment of choice; conservative surgery is difficult to perform and can damage the uterine structural integrity. We report the case of a 36-year-old woman who had difficulty conceiving because of profuse menometrorrhagia. An 84 cm3 uterine tumour was diagnosed on ultrasonography as leiomyoma, ...
