Background: The efficacy and safety of ultrasound-guided interventional procedures for gynecologic diseases have not been evaluated comprehensively. Therefore, we aimed to provide an evidence-based medical reference for clinical treatment in this meta-analysis. Methods: The literature searches were conducted in databases of PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science for eligible studies published from 2002 to May 2022. All literature was searched, screened, and reviewed by 2 researchers separately. RevMan 5.3.0 was used to analyze the relevant data. Results: A total of 12 articles consisting of 2854 patients were included. Compared with the control group, meta-analysis showed that ultrasound-guided technique in the experimental group was associated with a higher effective rate [risk ratio = 0.84, 95% confidence interval (CI) (0.84, 0.84)], a lower probability of recurrence [odds ratio = 0.13, 95% CI (0.13, 0.13), P < .00001], and a greater effective reintervention rate [odds ratio = 3.39, 95% CI (1.29, 8.86), P = .01]. However, it was not significantly associated with fewer adverse reactions. Conclusions: Ultrasound-guided technique in treating gynecologic diseases exerted a positive effect and had fewer adverse reactions, which could be popularized and applied in clinical practice.
