Evaluation of Hysteroscopic Endometrectomy: A Reappraisal.

Endometrial ablation can be performed using a variety of techniques, including resectoscopic or non-resectoscopic approaches. In this study, we compared 2 resectoscopic endometrial ablation techniques. The first technique was rollerball coagulation followed by endometrectomy (type A; n = 103), and the second was the reverse (type B; n = 107). Besides excessive bleeding in 4 cases, the procedures were uneventful in both groups of patients. We did not encounter uterine perforation or cervical laceration. Satisfaction rates were 97% and 99% with an overall hysterectomy rate of 2.9%. These results compared favorably with those in the literature. The results of our study show that hysteroscopic endometrectomy is effective with few associated complications.
