“…Transient adverse effects include mild skin burn, nausea, short-term buttock or leg pain, and transient sciatic nerve palsy ( 121 , 122 ). In one case, severe skin burn has been reported ( 124 ). Another ongoing evaluation of the clinical application of MR-guided FUS of uterine fi broids is its effect on fertility.…”

“…9 There was only one reported side effect in the literature that required surgical intervention. This was a full thickness abdominal skin burn 16 that required excision and direct closure 2 weeks after the treatment. Overall, 5% of patients suffered skin burns reported as being localized to areas of abdominal wall for which hair removal was incomplete.…”

Magnetic resonance-guided focused ultrasound (MRgFUS) is a new treatment modality in treating uterine fibroid. It is noninvasive and can be done as out-patient procedure. It is the least invasive treatment option other than medical treatment. Early reports have demonstrated feasibility and safety. It is efficacious in symptom improve and fibroid volume reduction. This article reviews the principle, patient selection and treatment. Results from early trial and our center are summarized.

Objective To estimate the cost-effectiveness of a treatment strategy for symptomatic uterine fibroids, which starts with Magnetic Resonance-guided Focused Ultrasound Surgery (MRgFUS) as compared with current practice comprising uterine artery embolisation, myomectomy and hysterectomy.Design Cost-utility analysis based on a Markov model.Setting National Health Service (NHS) Trusts in England and Wales.Population Women for whom surgical treatment for uterine fibroids is being considered.Methods The parameters of the Markov model of the treatment of uterine fibroids are drawn from a series of clinical studies of MRgFUS, and from the clinical effectiveness literature. Healthrelated quality of life is measured using the 6D. Costs are estimated from the perspective of the NHS. The impact of uncertainty is examined using deterministic and probabilistic sensitivity analysis. Main outcome measures Incremental cost-effectiveness measured by cost per quality-adjusted life-year (QALY) gained.Results The base-case results imply a cost saving and a small QALY gain per woman as a result of an MRgFUS treatment strategy. The cost per QALY gained is sensitive to cost of MRgFUS relative to other treatments, the age of the woman and the nonperfused volume relative to the total fibroids volume.Conclusions A treatment strategy for symptomatic uterine fibroids starting with MRgFUS is likely to be cost-effective.Keywords Cost-utility analysis, focused ultrasound surgery, uterine fibroids.Please cite this paper as: Zowall H, Cairns J, Brewer C, Lamping D, Gedroyc W, Regan L.
