Abstract
Background: Endometrial ablation is a minimally invasive, readily available procedure for the management of persistent heavy uterine bleeding (HUM) with good results. Complications though rare, have included post-ablation tubal sterilization syndrome. Case: A 39-year-old multiparous lady with persistent, unresolved HUM despite conservative therapy and a history of bilateral tubal ligation with filshie clips underwent an uncomplicated hysteroscopy with Novasure endometrial ablation. Subsequently, she had severe recurrent cyclic pelvic pain of over 6months duration, which was relieved after a total laparoscopic hysterectomy with pathology showing thickened and dilated proximal tubes with hematosalpinx. Conclusion: Physicians performing endometrial ablation should have a high index of suspicion for, be able to diagnose and treat post ablation tubal sterilization syndrome.
