Abstract
HIFU treatment is a revolutionary treatment and utterly different from traditional surgery. Many people, including doctors, still do not understand how HIFU works. Hopefully, after reading this book, the clinical applications of this HIFU ablation in obstetrics and gynecology can now be recognized. This chapter will also help elaborate on some HIFU treatment issues that even those who have learned HIFU ablation may be confused.
