High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) is an advanced medical technology used to treat uterine fibroids without open surgery. This method works by delivering high-intensity ultrasound waves that are precisely focused on fibroid tissue to destroy it—without incisions, without surgical wounds, and without prolonged hospitalization. Globally, HIFU has been used in more than 37 countries, treating around 500,000 patients worldwide. This makes it one of the most trusted non-invasive therapeutic innovations in the field of gynecology.
Today, HIFU technology is available at RS Mandaya Royal Puri as a modern solution for women who want to treat uterine fibroids without surgery. The procedure is supported by a team of specialist doctors who have undergone intensive HIFU training in China, ensuring safe, precise treatment in accordance with international standards.

Interesting Facts About HIFU Technology at RS Mandaya Royal Puri
Here are some key facts about HIFU technology available at RS Mandaya Royal Puri:
1. Used in More Than 37 Countries
HIFU technology has been implemented in more than 37 countries worldwide. Its application spans across Europe, Africa, Asia, the Middle East, and South America. This widespread adoption demonstrates that HIFU has become a globally recognized non-invasive therapy for treating uterine fibroids and various types of tumors.
2. Has Treated Approximately 500,000 Patients Worldwide
Globally, around 500,000 patients have undergone HIFU treatment. This number reflects the high level of trust in the technology and confirms its extensive and continuous use in international medical practice.
3. Recognized by the U.S. FDA and CE Europe
HIFU technology has received recognition from international health authorities, including the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and CE certification in Europe. These approvals indicate that HIFU has undergone rigorous evaluations for safety and effectiveness, meeting global medical standards.
4. Proven Effective for Tumors and Cancers in Other Body Areas
In addition to treating uterine fibroids, HIFU has also been proven effective in managing tumors and cancers in other parts of the body. It has been used in cases involving liver tumors, breast tumors, and even bone lesions. Its precision in targeting abnormal tissue without damaging surrounding healthy tissue makes HIFU an increasingly valuable option in various medical specialties.
5. Uses High-Intensity Ultrasound Waves
HIFU works by utilizing high-intensity ultrasound waves that are focused on a small, precise point within the target tissue, such as a fibroid or tumor. The concentrated energy generates controlled heat ranging from approximately 60–90°C, which destroys fibroid or tumor cells without the need for surgical incisions. The high level of precision ensures that surrounding healthy tissue remains protected.
6. Destroys Fibroid Tissue from Outside the Body
One of the main advantages of HIFU is its ability to destroy fibroid or tumor tissue from outside the body without creating open wounds. The damaged tissue is then gradually absorbed by the body over several weeks to months, typically within about 90 days. As a result, the fibroid shrinks progressively without the need for conventional surgery.
7. Non-Invasive Procedure with Faster Recovery
As a non-invasive procedure, HIFU does not require incisions, stitches, or general anesthesia in many cases. This significantly reduces the risk of bleeding and infection compared to conventional surgery. In addition, patients are generally able to resume their daily activities more quickly due to the relatively short recovery period, making HIFU an attractive option for women seeking fibroid treatment without undergoing surgery.
