Background
Microwave endometrial ablation is a new, minimally invasive treatment option for menorrhagia. Its popularity in many countries is increasing due to its safety and simplicity.
Cases
We treated menorrhagia due to submucosal myomas in two patients with a modified microwave endometrial ablation device. Surgery was contraindicated in the first patient secondary to medical co-morbidities and in the second patient because of acute hemorrhagic shock. In both cases, the operation was highly effective and each patient was satisfied with her treatment outcome.
Conclusion
Given its safety, simplicity, and effectiveness, microwave endometrial ablation may be widely adopted for the emergent control of uterine bleeding in patients with poor surgical candidates.
