• HIFU ablation achieves significant fibroid volume reduction (45.2% at 6 months) with fewer adverse events compared to myomectomy.
• Symptom severity and quality of life improvements are comparable between HIFU and surgery.
• HIFU is a non-invasive option with shorter recovery time and lower complication rates.
• Patient selection and tumor characteristics are critical for optimal HIFU outcomes.
