title: Endometrial resection.
abstract: Transcervical resection of the endometrium (TCRE) is a technique that has gained popularity in gynaecological practice as an alternative to hysterectomy for patients presenting with menstrual disturbances. The advantages of such a technique over traditional hysterectomy include shorter hospital stay, more rapid recovery allowing return to normal daily activity and reduced perioperative morbidity, with associated health and economic benefits.
