متن کاملMenorrhagia: endometrial ablation or hysterectomy?
BACKGROUND For many woman who suffer from menorrhagia, treatment would previously have meant hysterectomy. Today there are a number of less invasive surgical options available, such as endometrial ablation, which involves removal of the endometrium and part of the myometrium. This article compares two endometrial ablative techniques--transcervical resection of the endometrium and thermal balloo...
متن کاملMicrowaves in organic synthesis. Thermal and non-thermal microwave effects.
Microwave irradiation has been successfully applied in organic chemistry. Spectacular accelerations, higher yields under milder reaction conditions and higher product purities have all been reported. Indeed, a number of authors have described success in reactions that do not occur by conventional heating and even modifications of selectivity (chemo-, regio- and stereoselectivity). The effect of...

متن کاملEffect of Thermal Balloon Endometrial Ablation in Management of Menorrhagia in High Risk Surgical Candidates
To study the effect of thermal balloon endometrial ablation in management of menorrhagia in high risk surgical candidates. The method is thirty patients with menorrhagia who were high risk candidates for surgery underwent uterine balloon therapy. Results were statistically analyzed regarding procedure, safety, side effects and prognostic factors at follow-up periods of one month, three months, ...
