Sonalleve MR-HIFU is a medical system developed by Philips Healthcare for the treatment of uterine fibroids without surgery. The system uses non-invasive high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) guided by magnetic resonance (MR), hence the acronym MR-HIFU. The procedure involves volumetric heating of fibroids with real-time feedback. [1]
Radiofrequency ablation (RFA), also called fulguration, [1] is a medical procedure in which part of the electrical conduction system of the heart, tumor, sensory nerves or a dysfunctional tissue is ablated using the heat generated from medium frequency alternating current (in the range of 350–500 kHz).
with the integral being over the treatment time, R=0.5 for temperatures over 43 °C and 0.25 for temperatures between 43 °C and 37 °C, a reference temperature of 43 °C, and time T is in minutes. The equations and methods described in this report are not intended to represent any clinical result, this is only an approach for thermal dose ...
Uterine fibroids affect up to 80% of women by the age of 50 and can cause debilitating symptoms, including heavy menstrual bleeding, pelvic pain, and fertility challenges. The Sonata ® Procedure utilizes ultrasound-guided RF ablation to target and treat fibroids from within the uterus, without the need for incisions.
Endometrial ablation is a surgical procedure that is used to remove or destroy the endometrial lining of the uterus. The goal of the procedure is to decrease the amount of blood loss during menstruation (periods). Endometrial ablation is most often employed in people with excessive menstrual bleeding following unsuccessful medical therapy. [1]
The initial use of UAE for patients with fibroids was to limit bleeding during myomectomy. [35] During the 1990s, doctors began expanding the indications for UAE and started using it for the treatment of the fibroids specifically. [36] Previously, the primary treatment methods for fibroids were myomectomy or hysterectomy.
On Monday, Hologic Inc (NASDAQ:HOLX) agreed to acquire Gynesonics, Inc. for approximately $350 million. Gynesonics is a privately held medical device company that develops minimally invasive ...
Using the laparoscopic approach the uterus is visualized and its fibroids located and removed. Studies have suggested that laparoscopic myomectomy leads to lower morbidity rates and faster recovery than does laparotomic myomectomy. [2] As with hysteroscopic myomectomy, laparoscopic myomectomy is not generally used on very large fibroids.
