Results
The volume of adenomyosis was 102.1ml ± 50.4 (57.0-162.0 ml) for the transverse scar group and 101.3ml ± 48.8 (46-152 ml) for the longitudinal scar group.
The mean transverse and longitudinal scar size in length were 126.5 mm ± 49.2 and 111.8 mm ± 32.8,
respectively.
The NPV ratio was 72.1% ± 15.1 (57.5-100 %) in the transverse scar group and 69.4% ± 13.4 (58.5-100%) in the longitudinal scar group (p>0.05).
The volume reduction ratio follow-up was 24.0% ± 18.2 (-4.5%-39.8%) for transverse scar group and 22.1% ± 16.7 (2.1%-35.7%) for longitudinal scar group (p>0.05).
The tSSS improvement follow-up was 52.7% ± 25.9 (-5.1-81%) for the transverse scar group and 53.4% ± 21.7 (-4.9-78%) for the longitudinal scar group (p>0.05).
Major complications or severe adverse events directly related to sonication thermal damage were not observed during the ablation procedure.
Furthermore,
there was no significant difference in complication rate between transverse and longitudinal scar groups in the follow-up period.
