title: [Endometrial ablation with the resectoscope. The authors' experience].
abstract: The authors report their experience in endometrial ablation, a new hysteroscopic surgery technique, which is now proposed as an alternative to hysterectomy in cases of persistent uterine bleeding like meno-metrorrhagia not supported by myoma or endometrial atypia. The clinical indications and the resectoscopic technique are treated. From 1-1-1992 to 31-10-1993 14 women were treated with partial endometrial ablation and the result was good (shorter menstruation) in 80% and amenorrhea took place in 20%. The authors carried out an hysteroscopic follow-up in seven women which showed smaller uterine cavity with some adhesion and in all cases it was possible to perform biopsy with Novak cannula.
