What Is Magnetic Resonance Guided Focused Ultrasound Surgery?

Magnetic Resonance Guided Focused Ultrasound Surgery (MRgFUS) is a state-of-the-art, non-invasive procedure designed to treat uterine fibroids. It combines magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to visualize the fibroids and high-intensity ultrasound waves to precisely target and destroy them.

Unlike traditional surgical options, MRgFUS is performed without any cuts or incisions, making it a safer and more comfortable choice for patients looking to avoid surgery.

 

How Does MRgFUS Work?

MRgFUS uses focused ultrasound energy to heat and destroy fibroid tissue while sparing the surrounding healthy tissue. Here’s how it works:

1. Imaging and Planning: An MRI scan provides detailed images of the fibroids, helping your doctor map out the treatment area with pinpoint accuracy.
2. Focused Ultrasound Energy: High-intensity ultrasound waves are directed at the fibroid tissue, generating heat to destroy the targeted cells.
3. Real-Time Monitoring: The MRI continuously monitors the procedure, ensuring precision and safety throughout.

The procedure is performed on an outpatient basis and typically takes 2–3 hours. Most patients can go home the same day.

 

Who Is a Good Candidate for MRgFUS?

MRgFUS is an excellent option for women with uterine fibroids who:

• Want a non-invasive alternative to surgery.
• Experience symptoms like heavy periods, pelvic pain, or pressure.
• Have fibroids that are visible on an MRI scan.
• Are looking for a treatment that preserves fertility.

Your doctor will evaluate your specific condition to determine if MRgFUS is the right choice for you.

 

Benefits of MRgFUS

MRgFUS offers a range of advantages that make it a preferred treatment option for many women:

• Non-Invasive: No incisions, stitches, or general anesthesia required.
• Quick Recovery: Most patients return to normal activities within 1–2 days.
• Fertility Preservation: Unlike some surgical options, MRgFUS leaves the uterus intact, making it ideal for women planning future pregnancies.
• Precise Targeting: Advanced MRI imaging ensures fibroids are treated with pinpoint accuracy, minimizing risks to healthy tissue.
• Effective Results: Many patients experience significant symptom relief after treatment.
• No Hospital Stay: Performed as an outpatient procedure, so you can recover in the comfort of your home.

 

What to Expect During MRgFUS

At North Texas Fibroids, we ensure your MRgFUS experience is smooth and stress-free. Here’s what you can expect:

1. Consultation: Your doctor will review your symptoms and medical history and conduct imaging to confirm you’re a candidate for MRgFUS.
2. Procedure Day: You’ll lie comfortably on the MRI table while focused ultrasound waves target the fibroids. The procedure is pain-free, but you may feel warmth or mild discomfort.

 

Smooth and Quick Recovery from MRgFUS

Recovery after Magnetic Resonance Guided Focused Ultrasound Surgery (MRgFUS) is incredibly easy, thanks to its non-invasive nature. Most patients experience minimal downtime, allowing them to quickly get back to their routines.

Here’s what you can expect:

• Immediate Post-Procedure: After your treatment, you may feel mild warmth or slight discomfort in the treated area, but this typically fades within a few hours. Most patients can leave the clinic shortly after the procedure.
• Back to Daily Activities: You can resume light activities almost immediately and return to work or normal routines within 1–2 days. Unlike surgical options, there’s no need for extended rest or downtime.
• Symptom Improvement: Relief from symptoms like heavy bleeding and pelvic pain may begin within a few weeks, with continued improvement over the following months as fibroids shrink further.

 

Tips for a Smooth Recovery:

• Stay hydrated and eat a balanced diet to support your body’s natural healing process.
• Avoid strenuous exercise for the first few days, but light activities are encouraged.
• Follow your doctor’s guidance and attend any recommended follow-up appointments.

With MRgFUS, recovery is as seamless as the procedure itself, giving you fast relief and the freedom to return to your life with less pain and more comfort.
