Abstract
Background:
Only five pregnancies have been reported after endometrial ablation by resectoscopic endometrial resection, for a rate of 0.7% on the basis of three series.
Case:
Endometrial ablation was performed using a roller-ball electrode on a 37-year-old woman who had menorrhagia and dysmenorrhea. She subsequently conceived but experienced a missed abortion.
Conclusion:
Pregnancy is a rare occurrence following endometrial ablation. The effect of endometrial ablation on pregnancy outcome is unknown.
