ELECTROCOAGULATION OF THE ENDOMETRIUM WITH THE BALLEND RESECTOSCOPE

From the Division of Gynecology, Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio, San Antonio, Texas

Thermal destruction of the endometrium for treatment of dysfunctional uterine bleeding was accomplished with a urologic resectoscope with ball-end electrode in 15 patients. After at least 6 months of follow-up, ten experienced amenorrhea and four hypomenorrhea. One failure occurred; the patient underwent vaginal hysterectomy 4 months after the procedure and was found to have adenomyosis.
