Ablated endometrium, also endometrium post-ablation procedure, is endometrium that has been destroyed to render it nonfunctional.
Endometrial ablation is done to treat menorrhagia and metromenorrhagia in women that are done with their childbearing.
General
- Alternative to hysterectomy.
- Thermal injury - delivered via balloon.
- High prevalence of endometriosis in individuals with hysterectomy post-ablation procedure.[1]
Notes:
- NovaSure is a commonly used ablation system.[2]
Microscopic
Features:
- Endometrium completely or partially replaced by:
- Hyaline material, fibrosis.
