Pioneering Non-Invasive Uterine Fibroid Treatment: First Successful MRgFUS Procedure at Beijing Tiantan Puhua Hospital

Beijing Tiantan Puhua Hospital has achieved a significant milestone by successfully conducting its first Magnetic Resonance-guided Focused Ultrasound (MRgFUS) procedure for the treatment of uterine fibroids.

The patient, a woman suffering from a large uterine fibroid and anemia due to heavy menstrual bleeding, had a strong aversion to traditional surgical methods. The MRgFUS procedure, which utilizes high-intensity focused ultrasound guided by MRI to non-invasively ablate fibroid tissue, was selected as a suitable alternative. During the treatment, the patient experienced only mild abdominal warmth without pain, and was able to resume normal activities shortly after, being discharged the following day.

MRgFUS offers several advantages over traditional surgical treatments:

• Non-Invasive: No incisions or scars, preserving uterine integrity and function.
• Quick Recovery: Patients can often resume normal activities within a few hours.
• Preservation of Fertility: Suitable for women desiring to maintain reproductive health.

This successful procedure not only provides a new treatment option for patients but also positions Beijing Tiantan Puhua Hospital at the forefront of non-invasive gynecological care.
