Novasure impedance control system versus microwave endometrial ablation for the treatment of dysfunctional uterine bleeding: a double-blind, randomized controlled trial

Abstract: To compare the efficacy and safety of two different second-generation ablation devices, Novasure impedance control system and microwave endometrial ablation (MEA), in cases of abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB). Materials and Methods: This is a randomized controlled trial that took place in a single Gynecological Department of a University Hospital. Sixty-six women with dysfunctional uterine bleeding (DUB), unresponsive to medical treatment, were included in the trial. The ratio of women allocated to bipolar radi… Show more

“…27 Prior to this, other studies have revealed that bipolar radiofrequency electrical energy is superior to both thermal balloon and microwave ablation in terms of quality of life, patient satisfaction and the rate of amenorrhoea. [28][29][30] Despite these high levels of efficacy, studies consistently show that approximately 20% of patients receiving EA will ultimately require a hysterectomy to relieve their symptoms. 13 Two recent meta-analyses of randomised clinical trials (RCTs) have reported that total hysterectomy was superior to EA regarding cost and clinical efficacy.…”
