Intrauterine pregnancy following endometrial ablation.
BACKGROUND
Only five pregnancies have been reported after endometrial ablation by resectoscopic endometrial resection, for a rate of 0.7% on the basis of three series.


METHODS
Endometrial ablation was performed using a roller-ball electrode on a 37-year-old woman who had menorrhagia and dysmenorrhea. She subsequently conceived but experienced a missed abortion.


CONCLUSIONS
Pregnancy is a rare occurrence following endometrial ablation. The effect of endometrial ablation on pregnancy outcome is unknown.
