Resumen

La cirugía mediante ultrasonidos de alta intensidad (HIFU, high intensity focused ultrasound) se esta introduciendo con fuerza como tratamiento alternativo a la cirugía convencional de los miomas uterinos. Múltiples estudios han demostrado que es un tratamiento efectivo y seguro, con efectos secundarios mucho menores que la miomectomía y la histerectomía, siendo además coste-efectivo. Hoy es posible ofrecer esta alternativa terapéutica a las pacientes con miomas uterinos sintomáticos.

Describiremos las bases técnicas de la cirugía por ultrasonidos, la selección preterapéutica de las pacientes, los factores limitantes y los riesgos de la terapia con ultrasonidos de alta intensidad.

Describimos la experiencia clínica de nuestra unidad con 319 pacientes tratadas en régimen ambulatorio con una elevada tasa de éxito, 81%, y con una tasa de complicaciones leves aceptable, además de una reincorporación a las actividades habituales prácticamente inmediata.

Comentamos el seguimiento de las gestaciones que se han producido después del tratamiento con HIFU sin efectos secundarios atribuibles a la terapia.

Abstract

High-intensity ultrasound surgery is being actively introduced as an alternative treatment to conventional surgery for uterine fibroids. Numerous studies have shown that high-intensity ultrasound surgery is a safe and effective treatment, with fewer side effects than fibroidectomy and hysterectomy, and is cost-effective. It is now possible to offer this alternative therapy to patients with symptomatic uterine fibroids.

We describe the technical basis of ultrasound surgery, the pretherapy selection of patients, the limiting factors and the risks of high-intensity ultrasound therapy.

We describe our unit's clinical experience with 319 patients treated in an outpatient regimen, which resulted in a high rate of success (81%) and an acceptable rate of mild complications, as well as a virtually immediate return to daily activities.

We comment on the follow-up of pregnancies that occurred after treatment with high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) with no side effects attributable to the therapy.
