High-intensity focused ultrasound in obstetrics and gynecology: the birth of a new era of noninvasive surgery? KU Leuven

The ability of HIFU to create discrete regions of tissue necrosis only in precisely targeted positions by careful placement of the focus, without the need for any surgical ...
European Society of Gynaecologic Oncology Quality Indicators for Advanced Ovarian Cancer Surgery KU Leuven
The surgical management of advanced ovarian cancer involves complex surgery. Implementation of a quality management program has a major impact on survival. The goal of this work was to develop a list of quality indicators (QIs) for advanced ovarian cancer surgery that can be used to audit and improve the clinical practice.
