Successful microwave endometrial ablation (MEA™) in uterus didelphys

Computational modelling of microwave tumour ablations

“…Ablation is also being investigated for the treatment of other solid tumors in organs such as the breast, prostate, adrenal glands, pancreas and uterus (6–12). Non-oncologic applications include treatment of cardiac arrhythmia, as well as a means for hemostasis during surgical resection (13–15).…”

Microwave endometrial ablation as an alternative to hysterectomy for the emergent control of uterine bleeding in patients who are poor surgical candidates

“…In terms of operative complications and post-operative recovery, MEA is obviously superior to total hysterectomy. It can also be used to treat larger or irregular cavities [ 4 ], and has even been used successfully in a didelphic uterus [ 5 ]. MEA is only contraindicated when the uterine bleeding arises from a malignancy.…”
