Objective: To investigate the influence of the MRI-guided high-intensity focused ultrasound ablation (HIFU) of uterine fibroids on the endometrial receptivity in patients planning pregnancy.
Material and Methods: A prospective comparative controlled study of 95 reproductive age women planning a pregnancy with symptomatic uterine fibroids was conducted. 32 patients receiving HIFU treatment and 35 women receiving surgical treatment under laparoscopic myomectomy were examined. A control group was existing 28 healthy fertile women, examined voluntarily. The endometrium obtained with pipelle biopsia on days 20-22 of the menstrual cycle was examined by immunohistochemistry before and three months after the treatment. Statistical analysis of the results was carried out using SPSS 22.0.
