Endometrial resection and ablation versus hysterectomy for heavy menstrual bleeding
Destruction of endometrial tissue by either TCRE (transcervical resection) or ablation is an effective alternative to hysterectomy for heavy menstrual bleeding. Heavy menstrual bleeding (HMB) is excessive menstrual blood loss (sometimes defined as a loss of 80mls or more of blood per menstrual cycle) which interferes with a woman's quality of life. Hysterectomy is effective in stopping HMB permanently, but also ends fertility and has all the risks of major surgery including infection and blood loss. Endometrial resection and other methods of ablation are less invasive methods of surgery that aim to remove the entire thickness of the endometrium (lining of the uterus). The review of trials found TCRE or ablation is an effective and possibly cheaper alternative to hysterectomy with faster recovery although re-treatment is sometimes needed.
