| Video Discription | Experts estimate that 20 percent of women experience excessive or prolonged menstrual bleeding at some time during their lives, particularly as they approach menopause. A new, less invasive procedure called global endometrial ablation (GEA) preserves the uterus, while decreasing menstrual bleeding and shortening patients recovery time. In an article published in the January issue of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Mayo Clinic researchers attempt to determine the percentage of women who do not achieve permanent symptom relief from GEA and identify several factors that put women at greater risk for this outcome. We've known for the past five to six years that global endometrial ablation devices are very effective, says Mayo Clinic gynecologic surgeon Abimbola Famuyide, M.B.B.S., one of the studys authors. But some physicians have observed that up to 30 percent of patients may require additional treatment five years and beyond after undergoing ablation. According to the Mayo researchers, identifying risk factors that affect treatment outcomes following GEA is an important advance in this field. This knowledge can help surgeons determine whether GEA is appropriate for a specific patient and help them provide patients with better guidance when choosing a treatment option, say researchers. Optimizing preoperative patient counseling and patient selection could allow failure rates associated with GEA to decrease, explains Dr. Famuyide. [HNdzvIwMEh8] |
