ABSTRACT
Uterine fibroids are the most common neoplasm in women. These lesions may be associated with impaired fertility and adverse obstetric outcomes. Medical treatment, myomectomy, hysterectomy and uterine artery embolization have been employed for the management of uterine fibroids. Focused ultrasound surgery (FUS) is a relatively recent technique that relies on mechanical and thermal energy of ultrasound for the ablation of a target tissue under an imaging guidance, that can be either ultrasound (US-guided FUS, USgFUS) or magnetic resonance (MR-guided FUS, MRgFUS). Pre- and peri-menopausal women are potential candidates for treatment; however, individual criteria need to be evaluated in order to establish the eligibility for the procedure. FUS procedure can be performed in an outpatient setting; it is a safe and effective treatment that has demonstrated to reduce symptoms associated with uterine fibroids. The adverse event rate is 8.7% and only 0.2% of patients experiences major complications. Pregnancy is possible after the treatment, and no damage to the endometrium has been observed following FUS procedure.
