Application of high-intensity focused ultrasound in gynaecological diseases

HIFU is effective and recognized as a treatment for uterine fibroids, adenomyosis, and other benign gynaecological diseases. However, lack of high-quality long-term follow-up data remains. Patients can be more precisely selected and treated with appropriate therapy, minimizing adverse effects and decreasing the re-intervention rates. Noninvasive treatments such as HIFU are expected to become increasingly important in the next decade.
