What are the risks of endometrial ablation?

Endometrial ablation is the best method to treat severe endometriosis and ovarian cysts. However, this surgery is directly related to women's fertility. Therefore, many patients worry about the risks of this surgery before undergoing endometrial ablation. This is understandable. After all, no surgery can be foolproof. So what are the specific risks of endometrial ablation?

1. Severe endometriosis refers to cases of rAFS stage III to IV, which generally have obvious pelvic adhesions such as adhesions between the rectum and the back of the uterus, closed uterine rectal fossa, or unilateral or bilateral ovarian endometriosis cysts, so the scope of surgery is wide, the wound surface is large, and the possibility of bleeding is high;

2. Pelvic adhesions are severe and the anatomy is unclear. The ureter and intestine can change their normal course due to the traction of adhesions, so it is easy to cause accidental damage during surgery;

3. Compared with other ovarian cysts, the anatomical layers of ovarian endometriosis cysts are unclear, and it is easy to bleed when the cyst is removed. In addition, endometriosis has obvious vascular proliferation, which makes it relatively difficult to stop bleeding and there is a greater chance of bleeding.

4. Endometriosis lesions located in the vagina and rectum are deep, making surgical removal difficult and easily damaging the rectum. In short, surgery for severe endometriosis is difficult and risky.

The risks of endometrial ablation need to be analyzed based on the specific condition of the patient. Generally speaking, it is a simple operation that can be performed in ordinary hospitals, but large hospitals have better technology, rich experience, and high overall level, and of course the cost is also high. You can consider laparoscopic minimally invasive surgery, which has a quick recovery and small wounds.

This article has clearly introduced the risks of endometrial resection. If patients feel worried, it is recommended that they choose an experienced doctor to perform the surgery, or go to a large hospital with better medical conditions for the surgery. This is very helpful in reducing the risks of the surgery.
