Zusammenfassung

Objectives: The purpose of this initial study is to report on the safety and short-term efficacy of non-invasive magnetic resonance imaging-guided focused ultrasound surgery (MRgFUS). Methods: In this retrospective study, treatment was performed on 29 Korean women, whose mean age was 39.1±5.8 years, with symptomatic uterine myomas. Safety data and clinical symptoms were recorded on treatment day, and at follow-up visits, 3 and 6 months post treatment. Results: Symptom improvement was recorded at the 3 and 6 months follow-up visits, (83% and 90% respectively). There were no serious adverse events during the treat…
