STUDY OBJECTIVE: To compare results of endometrial ablation using the Hydro ThermAblator (HTA) and rollerball. DESIGN: Prospective, randomized study (Canadian Task Force classification I). SETTING: Nine private practice and university centers in the United States. PATIENTS: Two hundred seventy-six women with menorrhagia due to benign causes. INTERVENTION: Endometrial ablation with the HTA (187 women) or rollerball (89). MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS: Menstrual diaries were kept for 2 weeks and 3, 6, and 12 months after treatment. Reduction in diary scores to 75 or lower at 12 months was considered a success. For patients treated and followed according to protocol, success rates were 77% for HTA and 82% for rollerball. Amenorrhea rates at 12 months were 40% and 51%, respectively. CONCLUSION: Endometrial ablation with the HTA is safe and effective. It offers an advantage over rollerball ablation of being an office-based procedure, which reduces anesthesia requirements and obviates problems of fluid absorption. |
