Endometrial resection is a well-examined alternative therapy to hysterectomy in the treatment of abnormal uterine bleeding not associated with malignancy, that preserves the uterus at long term in at least 70% of patients. The new devices have been designed over the last decade, in response to demands from patients and practitioners. This review demonstrated that the second generation endometri...
