Abstract

Background Adenomyosis is a complex disorder that accounts up to one third of gynecological morbidity. Diffuse form of adenomyosis is most difficult to diagnose and treat. All attempts to create a “gold standard” in preserving therapy have not been successful so far. MRgFUS could be a promising technology for organ-preserving treatment of this disease. Purpose of this study was to determine the efficacy of MRgFUS ablation in organ-preserving treatment of adenomyosis.
