Study Objective:
To compare results of endometrial ablation using the Vesta system compared with resection and rollerball.
Design:
Multicenter, prospective, randomized, controlled study (Canadian Task Force classification I).
Setting:
Private practice and academic center.
Patients:
Women with menorrhagia documented by menstrual diaries who failed or refused hormonal therapy and who had no major uterine organic lesions.
Interventions:
Vesta endometrial ablation or traditional endometrial resection and rollerball ablation.
Measurements And Main Results:
Both groups achieved excellent control of menorrhagia.
Conclusion:
Vesta is an attractive alternative to traditional methods of endometrial ablation. (J Am Assoc Gynecol Laparosc 6(1):45-49, 1999)
