Microwave endometrial ablation as an alternative to hysterectomy for the emergent control of uterine bleeding in patients who are poor surgical candidates

BACKGROUND: Microwave endometrial ablation is a new, minimally invasive treatment option for menorrhagia. Its popularity in many countries is increasing due to its safety and simplicity. CASES: We treated menorrhagia due to submucosal myomas in two patients with a modified microwave endometrial abla...

description BACKGROUND: Microwave endometrial ablation is a new, minimally invasive treatment option for menorrhagia. Its popularity in many countries is increasing due to its safety and simplicity. CASES: We treated menorrhagia due to submucosal myomas in two patients with a modified microwave endometrial ablation device. Surgery was contraindicated in the first patient secondary to medical co-morbidities and in the second patient because of acute hemorrhagic shock. In both cases, the operation was highly effective and each patient was satisfied with her treatment outcome. CONCLUSION: Given its safety, simplicity, and effectiveness, microwave endometrial ablation may be widely adopted for the emergent control of uterine bleeding in patients with poor surgical candidates.
