- Non-Invasive Uterine Fibroid Treatment with ExAblateŽ Shows Significantly Fewer Complications and Faster Recovery than Hysterectomy
TIRAT CARMEL, Israel (Nov 11, 2009) - InSightec Ltd. today announced that three new papers published in the November issue of Ultrasound in Obstetrics and Gynecology add to the growing body of data supporting the use of ExAblateŽ as a safe, effective and durable treatment for uterine fibroids.
One study showed that non-invasive treatment with the ExAblate Magnetic Resonance-guided Focused Ultrasound (MRgFUS) system offers women a significantly less risky treatment for symptomatic uterine fibroids with much faster recovery time than hysterectomy. A separate study shows the positive correlation in the volume reduction of the fibroid to symptom improvement after two years, while a third showed improvement in outcomes of ExAblate treatments as physicians improved their skills with the system.
