Abstract

To assess the efficacy and safety of endometrial ablation with the use of the HTA System for the treatment of menorrhagia. Retrospective, arm. Private practice. Patients with menorrhagia due to benign causes: 400 patients treated to date with the HTA System with postoperative follow-up of 6 to 48 months with continuing enrollment. Endometrial ablation was performed with the HTA System which circulates free-flowing heated saline throughout the uterine cavity for 10 minutes under direct hysteroscopic visualization. At least six months after treatment, women were contacted, or questioned during follow-up visits, regarding their menstrual history. Amenorrhea was defined as no bleeding at all and eumenorrhea as normal periods or less. Over seventy percent (70%) of the patients reported amenorrhea. There were no complications resulting from the procedure. The HTA System is a very safe and effective treatment for menorrhagia with over a 70% amenorrhea rate (updated rate to be presented) in patients with follow-up from 6 to 48 months.
