  7. Current evidence on the safety of ultrasound-guided high‑intensity transcutaneous focused ultrasound for symptomatic uterine fibroids shows there are well-recognised complications including skin burns. The evidence on efficacy is limited in quality. Therefore, this procedure should only be used with  special arrangements   for clinical governance, consent, and audit or research.

  8. Vaginal transluminal endoscopic hysterectomy and adnexal surgery for benign gynaecological conditions (HTG699)

    Evidence-based recommendations on vaginal transluminal endoscopic hysterectomy and adnexal surgery for benign gynaecological conditions. This involves removing the uterus (womb), and sometimes the fallopian tubes and ovaries, through the vagina.

  9. NICE encourages further research into the efficacy of MRI-guided transcutaneous focused ultrasound for uterine fibroids. Research studies should report long-term outcomes, including the need for further treatment. Data on the incidence and outcomes of subsequent pregnancy in patients who choose this procedure because they wish to maintain or improve their fertility are particularly important.

  11. Evidence on the safety of laparoscopic removal of uterine fibroids with power morcellation shows potentially serious complications. In particular there is a risk of spreading undiagnosed malignant tissue, which has higher prevalence in people who are postmenopausal or over 50. Evidence on the procedure's efficacy is limited in quantity. Therefore, further research should report details of patient selection, surgical technique (including any containment system used) and long-term outcomes.
