Roller Ball Endometrial Ablation For Endometrial Polyp Video

This is an roller ball endometrial ablation for polyp video, performed on a woman 55 of age, with a diagnosis of unresponsive menorrhagia because of the presence of an endometrial polyp.

Menorrhagia stands for "excessive bleeding", and unresponsive menorrhagia usually leads to a hysterectomy, because the doctors start thinking that nothing can save the day.

The method of endometrial ablation chosen was operative hysteroscopy. The endometrial polyp is cut away with a roller ball. Most hysterectomies arise due to unresponsive uterine bleeding, but surgeries such as this help avoid hysterectomy by controlling the possible cause of it.
