Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study Clinical Trial
A randomised comparison of microwave endometrial ablation with transcervical resection of the endometrium; follow up at a minimum of five years.
To compare long term outcomes following microwave endometrial ablation (MEA) or transcervical resection of the endometrium (TCRE). ⋯ Both techniques achieve significant and comparable improvements in menstrual symptoms, and health-related quality of life. While high rates of satisfaction with treatment and acceptability of treatment are achieved by TCRE, these are significantly lower than levels following MEA. These long term data, when combined with the trials' operative findings and known costs of both procedures, now inform us that MEA is a more effective and efficient treatment for heavy menstrual loss than TCRE.
