Operative resectoscopy combined with endometrial ablation effectively treats intractable uterine bleeding. This procedure offered significant symptom improvement for 97% of women, with most achieving amenorrhea or hypomenorrhea.

Area of Science:

  • Gynecology
  • Surgical Oncology

Background:

  • Intractable uterine bleeding is a common gynecological issue.
  • Previous treatments may have limited efficacy or significant side effects.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the safety and effectiveness of operative resectoscopy and endometrial ablation for intractable uterine bleeding.
  • To assess patient outcomes and pathological findings.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of 404 cases.
  • Procedures performed between July 1990 and May 1995.
  • Follow-up ranged from 4 to 58 months.

Main Results:

  • 97% of patients experienced improvement in abnormal uterine bleeding.
  • 58% achieved amenorrhea, 36% hypomenorrhea.

  • Common pathologies included myomata (32%) and polyps (20%).
  • No serious complications requiring hospitalization were reported.

    • Conclusions:

    • Operative resectoscopy with endometrial ablation is a safe and effective treatment for intractable uterine bleeding.
    • The procedure demonstrates high patient satisfaction and minimal adverse events.
