Damansara Specialist Hospital 2 is the first in Southeast Asia to introduce Supine High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) for non-invasive uterine fibroid treatment. The new procedure allows patients to undergo treatment in a face-up position, reducing discomfort during longer procedures.
Damansara Specialist Hospital 2, part of KPJ Healthcare Berhad's network, has introduced Supine High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) for non-invasive uterine fibroid treatment. This makes it the first hospital in Southeast Asia to offer this treatment. HIFU uses focused ultrasound energy to target fibroid tissue without incisions or uterus removal. The supine approach allows treatment in a face-up position, reducing discomfort. The procedure is performed by Consultant Obstetricians and Gynaecologists Dr Liew Yen Eit and Dr Haliza Kamarudin. It is suitable for patients with moderate-sized fibroids in appropriate locations, offering a non-surgical option while preserving the uterus.
