Purpose of the Study:

To introduce endometrial ablation and resection as alternative treatments.
To describe various methods, their complications, and short-term outcomes.

Main Methods:

Review of different endometrial ablation techniques.
Description of endometrial resection procedures.

Main Results:

Endometrial ablation and resection are effective in managing severe uterine bleeding.
These procedures offer an alternative to hysterectomy for specific conditions.

Conclusions:

Endometrial ablation and resection provide viable treatment options for women with severe bleeding or submucous fibroids.
