Abstract
SUMMARY Objective: To evaluate hysteroscopic endometrial resection associated to levonorgestrel intrauterine device insertion as a treatment of abnormal uterine bleeding of benign cause. Method: 24 patients with abnormal uterine bleeding, were treated with hysteroscopic endometrial resection followed by the insertion of a intrauterine levonorgestrel device. Results: 23 of 24 patients no report symptoms after 18.3 months follow up. One hysterectomy was performed for persistent chronic pelvic pain. Conclusions: Endometrial ablations with diathermic loop followed by the insertion of intrauterine levonorgestrel device improve the results of the conservative surgeries, avoiding 95.9% of hysterectomies in patients with abnormal uterine bleeding.
