Area of Science:

  • Gynecology
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery

Background:

  • Endometrial removal offers a less invasive alternative to hysterectomy for managing abnormal uterine bleeding.
  • Functional menstrual disorders are a common indication for gynecological interventions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the indications, efficacy, advantages, and contraindications of endometrial removal.
  • To assess endometrial removal as a therapeutic option for menorrhagia.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective study of 20 patients undergoing endometrial removal over 4 years.
  • Procedures included simple endometrectomy, endometrectomy with polypectomy, and endometrectomy with myomectomy.
  • Preoperative diagnostic hysteroscopy was performed in all cases.

Main Results:

  • The average patient age was 44 years, with an average parity of 4.
  • 90% of patients presented with functional menstrual disorders.
  • A 90% success rate was observed, with complications including one uterine perforation and two cases requiring hysterectomy due to bleeding.

Conclusions:

  • Endometrectomy is a viable alternative to hysterectomy for menorrhagia unresponsive to medical treatment.
  • The procedure is particularly suitable for mild functional disorders.
