Uterus ablation is destroying the endometrium, the internal lining of the uterus, in order to help the patient. Frequent terms for uterus ablation are uterine ablation and endometrial ablation, and technically, these can be done through a plethora of methods, such as: . Laser ablation . Thermal ablation . Novasure endometrial ablation . Hydrothermal ablation… Continue reading Uterus Ablation

Uterine fibroids are the largest single cause of hysterectomy. They may lurk undiscovered for years and (almost) always are benign. A fibroid is a muscle tumor, in this case, the tumor of muscles in the uterus. Another name for them is myoma, which is short for the more technical name — leiomyoma. Women can endure… Continue reading Uterine Fibroids

Uterine ablation is ablation of the uterus. The term “ablation” means scraping, so uterine ablation would be scraping the interior part of the uterus, away. This interior part is called endometrium, and is the place in which fertilised egg grows to form a new baby. Every month woman’s body is expecting one (or more) such… Continue reading Uterine Ablation

In 1994 Neuwirth et al. introduced a thermal uterine balloon therapy system. The results achieved with it are comparable with the hysteroscopic endometrial resection, except that the skills the operator must possess are significantly smaller. The uterine thermal balloon ablation does not require endometrial visualisation, distending solutions, high energy sources, and almost never a cervical… Continue reading Thermal Balloon Ablation

Rollerball ablation (sometimes spelled as “roller-ball”) of the uterus is the method of destroying the endometrium, the inner lining of the uterus, by means of heat. It is one of the first ablation methods and relies on using the hysteroscope. Hysteroscope is an operating scope, while hysteroscopy is the surgical procedure of looking into the… Continue reading Rollerball Ablation of the Uterus

This is an roller ball endometrial ablation for polyp video, performed on a woman 55 of age, with a diagnosis of unresponsive menorrhagia because of the presence of an endometrial polyp. The surgeon is Jose Bolanos, MD. Menorrhagia stands for “excessive bleeding”, and unresponsive menorrhagia usually leads to a hysterectomy, because the doctors start thinking… Continue reading Roller Ball Endometrial Ablation For Polyp Video

Radio frequency ablation (sometimes shorthened as “rf ablation” or RFA) is more precisely known as the impedance-controlled bipolar radiofrequency ablation. It destroys endometrium, the inner lining of the uterus in order to stop heavy menstrual bleeding (menorrhagia) and introduce the state of no bleeding at all (amenorrhea). How Does Radio Frequency Ablation Work? The scope… Continue reading Radio Frequency Ablation of the Uterus

Novasure endometrial ablation is a “flame-thrower” amongst the devices for endometrial ablation. It consists of an electrode with a sheath at the end; in the beginning of the procedure, the sheath is placed through the cervix. The electrode then expands and conforms to the shape of the uterine cavity. The device tests whether there is… Continue reading Novasure

Endometrial ablation (often spelled as oblation, or oblasion, or ablasion) is the process of destroying endometrium, the inner lining of the uterus, in order to solve a problem such as heavy bleeding, pain, exhaustion and so on. Novasure type of endometrial ablation is an electrode which is placed in the cervix, and which emits a… Continue reading Novasure Endometrial Ablation

Microwave ablation of uterus is the method to resolve heavy menstrual bleeding or menorrhagia. Memorrhagia without cause used to be the main reason for having a hysterectomy. From one third up to one half of all hysterectomias could be attributed to hemorrhagia without major pathology, so it would be of great interest to invent a… Continue reading Microwave Ablation of the Uterus
