Pregnancy after hydrothermal endometrial ablation and laparoscopic sterilisation.
Hydrothermal ablation (HTA) is a newly introduced technique of endometrial ablation. This report describes the first case of pregnancy and miscarriage following successful HTA performed 4 years after laparoscopic tubal sterilisation. The diagnosis of such pregnancies can be difficult and the risk of pregnancy complications is potentially increased.
