A hysteroscopic endometrial ablation (HEA) under maximal anesthesiologic surveillance was performed on 34 high-risk patients (group I: chronic anticoagulant therapy n = 26; group II: endogenous coagulopathy n = 8) with therapy resistant meno-metrorrhagia to avoid a hysterectomy (HE). Total amenorrhea, or a least hypomenorrhea respectively cyclic spotting could be attained primarily in 22 patients (group I: 19; group II: 3), after a repeat procedure in further 6 patients (4 in group I, 2 in group II). Subjective evaluation of surgical results (overall 22 patients primarily satisfied, 6 secondarily) also differed between the two subgroups (group I: p < 0.01 primarily satisfied; p < 0.05 secondarily satisfied vs. p < 0.05 and p < 0.01 in group II). A HE had to be performed on two patients due to extensive adenomyosis uteri interna (group II). The significantly better results in the anticoagulation group were probably due to the basic illness. Larger groups will, however, be necessary before any conclusions from this difference can be drawn. No surgical or anesthesiological complications occurred. There also were no major postoperative complications (1 endomyometritis, 2 cervical stenoses). Endometrial ablation was found to be a valuable treatment alternative for this specific group of patients with severe coagulopathy, thrombo-embolic or thrombotic disease.
