The NovaSure – Endometrial Ablation System, FDA approved in 2001, utilizes a metallized mesh electrode array that is introduced into the uterine cavity, applying bipolar electrical energy that creates heat to ablate the endometrium. The Novasure average procedure time is 5 minutes from device insertion to removal and is usually performed ...
Endometrial polyp. Polypectomy. Abnormal uterine bleeding; Adenomyosis; Endometrial ablation [10] (Some newer systems specifically developed for endometrial ablation such as the Novasure do not require hysteroscopy) Myomectomy for uterine fibroids. [1] Congenital uterine malformations (also known as Müllerian malformations). [2] [7]
A further surgical technique is endometrial ablation (destruction) by the use of applied heat (thermoablation). [60] The effectiveness of endometrial ablation is probably similar to that of LNG‐IUS but the evidence is uncertain if hysterectomy is better or worse than LNG-IUS for improving HMB. [21]
The causes of AUB are divided into nine groups: uterine polyps, fibroids, adenomyosis, cancer, blood clotting disorders, problems with ovulation, endometrial problems, healthcare induced, and not yet classified. [3] More than one category of causes may apply in an individual case. [3] Healthcare induced causes may include side effects of birth ...
Electro-ablation, is a process that removes material from a metallic workpiece to reduce surface roughness. Electro-ablation breaks through highly resistive oxide surfaces, such as those found on titanium and other exotic metals and alloys without melting the underlying non-oxidised metal or alloy. This allows very quick surface finishing
Additionally, hematometra may develop as a complication of uterine or cervical surgery such as endometrial ablation, where scar tissue in the endometrium can "wall off" sections of endometrial glands and stroma causing blood to accumulate in the uterine cavity. [1] It can also develop after abortion, [4] as well as after childbirth.
Some females who have undergone tubal ligation prior to an endometrial ablation procedure experience cyclic or intermittent pelvic pain; this may happen in up to 10% of women who have undergone both surgeries. [17]
Menstrual suppression refers to the practice of using hormonal management to stop or reduce menstrual bleeding.In contrast to surgical options for this purpose, such as hysterectomy or endometrial ablation, hormonal methods to manipulate menstruation are reversible.
