  CONCLUSIONS
  Endometrial ablation and resection play an important role in the treatment of dysfunctional uterine bleeding. Hysteroscopic methods visualize the uterine cavity and enable to treat lesions in it at the same time. Non-hysteroscopic methods are less invasive for the patient and comfortable for the surgeon. Both groups of methods have similar treatment results.
