Abstract

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. 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. A cohort study was conducted on all patients with symptomatic uterine fibroid tumors who were admitted to a single tertiary care center and treated operatively with laparoscopic myomectomy or treated conservatively with magnetic resonance-guided focused ultrasound from January 2012 until January 2017. Assessment for further interventions and sustained fibroid-associated symptoms was performed, with the use of the Uterine Fibroid Symptom and Quality of Life symptom severity score. One hundred fifty-four women met the inclusion criteria. Complete follow-up evaluation was achieved for 64 women who underwent laparoscopic myomectomy and for 68 women who were treated by magnetic resonance-guided focused ultrasound. Follow-up time was similar for the 2 groups (median, 31 months [interquartile range, 17-51 months] vs 36 months [interquartile range, 24-41]; P=.95). The rate of additio...Continue Reading
