Department of Biomedical Engineering, State Key Laboratory of Ultrasound Engineering in Medicine, Chongqing Medical University No. 1 Yi Xue Yuan Road, Yu Zhong District, Chongqing 400016, China.
Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy, safety and sexual life quality outcomes of ultrasound-guided high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) ablations for the treatment of patients with symptomatic adenomyosis and uterine volumes >200 cm(3).
Methods: In our prospective clinical trial 47 patients with uterine volumes >200 cm(3) and symptomatic adenomyosis were treated with single treatment sessions of ultrasound-guided HIFU ablations. Beside uterus and adenomyosis lesion size reductions, outcome measures were symptom severity score (SSS), visual analogue scale (VAS) of dysmenorrhea, female sexual function index (FSFI) scores and the incidence of complications.
