Pharmacological therapies and surgical approaches for adenomyosis have shown benefits but present important limitations, such as side effects, recurrence, and loss of fertility. In recent years, focused ultrasound ablation surgery (FUAS) has emerged as a promising uterus-preserving alternative. Nevertheless, it has not yet been approved by major regulatory authorities worldwide for the treatment of adenomyosis, and relevant evidence on the long-term efficacy of FUAS as well as the need for reintervention is scarce.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Objective<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Aimed to systematically evaluate the long-term outcomes and reinterventions of FUAS for adenomyosis.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A comprehensive literature search was conducted in PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and the Cochrane Library to identify relevant studies published up to February 2026, which investigated the clinical outcomes of adenomyosis patients undergoing FUAS monotherapy. Study selection and data extraction were independently performed by two researchers each. Fixed-effect and random-effect models were utilized to calculate synthesized effect sizes. Mean differences (MDs) were used for continuous outcomes, and proportions were used to assess dichotomous outcomes.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      A total of 27 studies involving 13,307 patients were included in this review.

The reduction in menorrhagia severity score was 1.31 (95% CI: 1.21\u20131.40), with a menorrhagia remission rate of 0.75 (95% CI: 0.69\u20130.81). The female sexual function index (FSFI) score increased by 5.38 (95% CI: 2.77\u20138.00).

The incidence of major adverse events was 0.3%, whereas minor adverse events occurred in 46% of cases. The pooled pregnancy rate was 6%.
