Unlabelled:
A total of 43 pregnancies that occurred subsequent to endometrial ablation were reported to July 2002. Only 17 of these pregnancies had progressed beyond 20 weeks. We report a successful planned pregnancy following endometrial ablation and sterilization reversal, culminating in vaginal birth after a previous Caesarean section. The English literature has been reviewed to ascertain family planning practices, uterine cavity assessment and pregnancy outcomes after endometrial ablation/resection. Pregnancy management recommendations are provided.
Target Audience:
Obstetricians & Gynecologists, Family Physicians.
Learning Objectives:
After completion of this article, the reader will be able to list the various pregnancy complications associated with a history of endometrial ablation, and to describe the changes in the endometrial cavity following endometrial ablation.
