Ep 57: Endometrial Ablation
Practice Bulletin #81 - Published May 2007 (Reaffirmed 2018) 1. Both resectoscopic and non-resectoscopic techniques are safe and effective. 2. Size and shape of the uterine cavity and the presence of fibroids may impact efficacy of non-resectoscopic techniques 3. With resectoscopic techniques, careful monitoring of distension medium fluid is important. If too much fluid intravasates, dilutional electrolyte imbalances can have serious consequences. 4. Ablation is not recommended for patients who wish to preserve fertility. 5. Sample the endometrium before performing an ablation to evaluate for hyperplasia or malignancy.
