Background: Fibroid tumors are the most common benign tumors in women of reproductive age. Treatment is usually indicated for those who are symptomatic, with different techniques being used.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to compare the long-term outcome of laparoscopic myomectomy with magnetic resonance-guided focused ultrasound for symptomatic uterine fibroid tumors.
