Cervical morphology and elasticity following treatment of cervical squamous intraepithelial lesions with focused ultrasound <i>vs</i> . loop electrosurgical excision procedure: a prospective non-randomized controlled study
FUS and LEEP demonstrate comparable efficacy in treating HR-HPV-associated SILs. Initial observations suggest that FUS impacts cervical morphology and elasticity less than does LEEP, implying an advantage of FUS for fertility preservation, although the long-term fertility outcomes require further investigation.
