Endometrial Ablation: A Tale of Two Women

Abstract

Endometrial ablation procedures are growing in popularity for the treatment of menorrhagia and dysmenorrhea. Sonography is the modality of choice in the evaluation of patients prior to ablation and as a follow-up for any postprocedure complications. After ablation, conditions including hematometra, postablation tubal sterilization syndrome, postablation endometriosis, and pregnancy complications have been documented. Sonographers should be aware of the conditions associated with endometrial ablations and the variety of sonographic findings that may be present.
