Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Microwave endometrial ablation (MEA) is the most commonly used new generation ablative technique in the UK. It is one of the new generation techniques recommended for management of menorrhagia by NICE. They are favoured over Tran cervical resection or ablation because of the ease of use and equitable effectiveness. Ablative technique usage has increase over the last few years with a reduction in hysterectomy performed for menorrhagia (RCOG). It is offered to women who have completed their family. Adverse complication has been described in pregnancy and endometrial resection and ablation, but there is limited evidence about newer techniques and pregnancy outcome. We found four pregnancies in three women. Three pregnancies were terminated at less than 12 weeks gestation. One pregnancy leads to a successful live birth with no complication in the pregnancy. |
