[Prevention and diagnosis of encapsulated endometrium after endometrial ablation]

Endometrial ablation for dysfunctional uterine bleeding has become more common in Denmark in recent years. New symptoms and diseases may arise due to morphological changes in the uterus after the operation. Despite thoroughness during surgery, residual endometrial tissue can be trapped in pockets during the healing process. In this paper two cases of encapsulated endometrial tissue are presented in women who had undergone endometrial resection. Prophylactic aims, diagnoses and treatments are suggested to minimise the risk of residual endometrial tissue in terms of concealing the symptoms of a developing adenocarcinoma.
