Endometrial Ablation at Top Ichilov Clinic. Advantages

• The procedure is minimally invasive as it is performed endoscopically;
• Can be performed using laser technology, which increases accuracy, allows for the removal of distant areas of the endometrium, and reduces the risk of bleeding and complications;
• Types of ablation such as balloon and electrosurgical become methods of choice in cases where the uterus is perforated or when surgical intervention is contraindicated;
• The procedure is performed in a short time frame, does not require hospitalization, and has a short recovery period during which the patient can return to daily life.

The doctors at Top Ichilov clinic, many of whom are recognized specialists in performing surgical interventions and minimally invasive techniques for treating gynecological diseases, are ready to provide a full range of professional assistance to their patients, including the endometrial ablation procedure.

Types of Endometrial Ablation

The specialists at Top Ichilov clinic offer their patients three types of endometrial ablation:

• Laser. Can be performed using contact and non-contact methods. The laser beam passes from the organ's opening along its bottom and walls. The method's features include the ability to resect the organ even in hard-to-reach places and significantly reduce the risks of bleeding and complications;
• Electrosurgical. The procedure is similar in technique to laser ablation but differs in that the primary tool is the energy of electrical waves;
• Balloon. During this procedure, a balloon filled with sterile glycerin is inserted into the uterus, which is gradually heated to a specific temperature.

Methods of endometrial ablation also include procedures such as diathermocoagulation of the endometrium and destruction of the endometrium using microwaves.

The good regenerative ability of the uterine lining allows for destructive actions up to the glandular and basal layers.

Recovery Period

This period after the endometrial ablation procedure can last from 7 to 21 days, but hospitalization is not required. On the day of the procedure, the patient can leave the clinic immediately. With light work loads, the patient can return to work on the 7th to 10th day, while for work loads involving physical strain, returning to work should not occur earlier than three weeks after the operation. It is also necessary to suspend sexual activity for a month.

Diagnosis of Endometrial Ablation at Top Ichilov Clinic

Before the actual ablation procedure, the patient will undergo the following diagnostic stages:

• colposcopy,
• radiological examination of the pelvis,
• thyroid function tests,
• ultrasound examination of the pelvic organs and endometrial biopsy;
• hormone tests;
• vaginal smears;

Hormonal suppression therapy and curettage may be prescribed as needed.
