Dear Puja Sharma Minimally invasive hysteroscopic endometrial ablation is a surgical procedure to destroy a woman's endometrial layer. Endometrial ablation is a procedure that destroys (ablates) the uterine lining, or endometrium. This procedure is used to treat dysfunctional or abnormal uterine bleeding. Sometimes a lighted viewing instrument (hysteroscope) is used to see inside the uterus. Endometrial ablation can be done by: Laser beam (laser thermal ablation). Heat (thermal ablation), using: Radiofrequency. A balloon filled with saline solution that has been heated to 85�C (185�F) (thermal balloon ablation). Normal saline (heated free fluid). Electricity, using a resectoscope with a loop or rolling ball electrode. Freezing. Microwave. With regards M K Gupta |
