The aim of our study is to review the role of thermal balloon endometrial ablation (TBEA) as an alternative in treating abnormal uterine bleeding.
Articles relevant to our review and relevant references from the initially identified articles on the field that were archived by May 2007, were retrieved from Pubmed.
Success rates ranged from 83 up to 94%, with patient's satisfaction ranging from 57 up to 94%. Persisted menorrhagia could reach 17% in some studies.
TBEA is an effective alternative method used in the treatment of menorrhagea which results in a significant reduction in menstrual bleeding and high satisfaction rates. However, a longer follow-up is required to determine the role of such a treatment.
我们研究的目的是评估热球囊子宫内膜消融术(TBEA)作为治疗异常子宫出血的一种替代方法的作用。
从PubMed检索与我们的综述相关的文章以及截至2007年5月存档的该领域最初检索到的文章中的相关参考文献。
成功率在83%至94%之间,患者满意度在57%至94%之间。在一些研究中,持续性月经过多可达17%。
热球囊子宫内膜消融术是治疗月经过多的一种有效替代方法,可显著减少月经量并获得较高的满意度。然而,需要更长时间的随访来确定这种治疗方法的作用。
