Uterine Curtain Surgery: Endometrial Ablation

Endometrial ablation, also known as hysterectomy, is a minimally invasive surgical procedure to reduce or stop excessive menstrual bleeding. In this procedure, some or all of the endometrium, the inner layer of the uterus, is targeted and eliminated. The team of specialists led by Assoc. Prof. Dr. Sema Karakaş performs such surgical procedures at Ataköy Nef 22 and contributes to the health of patients.

How is uterine curtain surgery performed?

A hysterectomy is a procedure that is usually performed under local anesthesia and the patient does not need general anesthesia. Basically, different techniques are used to destroy the endometrium layer:

1. Thermal Ablation: Using a source such as high-temperature water, liquid nitrogen or microwave energy, the endometrium layer is burned or vaporized.
2. Radiofrequency Ablation: Using electrodes, the endometrium layer is destroyed by high frequency electric current.
3. Laser Ablation: Using laser light, the endometrium layer is broken down and destroyed.
4. Hydrogen Balloon Ablation: A balloon filled with hot water is inserted into the uterus and used to destroy the endometrium.

These techniques effectively remove the lining of the uterus, prevent excessive menstrual bleeding and regulate the menstrual cycle.

Advantages and Results of Hysterectomy

• Since it is a minimally invasive procedure, the healing process is fast.
• It can significantly reduce menstrual bleeding or stop it completely.
• Anesthesia requirement is low and hospital stay is usually short.
• For most women, it offers an effective solution and is likely to prevent a return of menstruation.
