Comparison of pregnancy outcomes in uterine fibroids following high intensity focused ultrasound ablation vs. laparoscopic myomectomy: a propensity score-matched observational study

HIFU demonstrated comparable postoperative pregnancy rates to LM and was associated with a shorter median time to pregnancy, suggesting that HIFU may be a potential fertility-sparing treatment for women with UFs. Additionally, age and the classification of main fibroids were identified as the independent factors influencing postoperative pregnancy rates in patients undergoing treatment.

Abstract

HIFU demonstrated comparable postoperative pregnancy rates to LM and was associated with a shorter median time to pregnancy, suggesting that HIFU may be a potential fertility-sparing treatment for women with UFs. Additionally, age and the classification of main fibroids were identified as the independent factors influencing postoperative pregnancy rates in patients undergoing treatment.
