Abstract

STUDY OBJECTIVE

To determine 5-year results of endometrial ablation with the SideFire laser fiber.

DESIGN

All women seen in private office who were candidates for this procedure were followed over 5 years (Canadian Task Force classification II-2).

SETTING

Patients were pretreated with depot leuprolide acetate in a private office. All procedures were done in an outpatient surgery center, and no patient was admitted to the hospital.

PATIENTS

Eighty-six women with increased bleeding.

INTERVENTION

Endometrial ablation with the SideFire laser fiber.

MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS

After follow-up of 12 to 72 months, 100% of patients had excellent results; 70 (82%) had total amenorrhea. Results were not less satisfactory in younger women.

CONCLUSION

The SideFire laser fiber seems to be a good alternative that achieves improved outcomes compared with electrosurgery and balloon devices with hot fluid or electrodes. (J Am Assoc Gynecol Laparosc 6(1):65-69, 1999)
