Background:
Global endometrial ablation may be associated with serious complications.
Case:
We present a case of bilateral tuboovarian abscesses that developed 50 days postoperatively after a thermal ablation. The patient underwent total abdominal hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy.
Conclusion:
Infectious morbidity is known to occur after thermal endometrial ablation. Further investigation is required into ways of reducing the risks of endometrial ablation.
