Official Title: Randomized Controlled Trial Comparing the Efficiency of the Bipolar Energy Compared With the Monopolar Energy in Endometrial Ablation in Women Having Menorrhagia
Brief Summary:
Since the development a few years ago of bipolar energy in the surgery by operative hysteroscopy, the hysteroscopic treatment of menorrhagia by endometrial ablation can be achieved either by the use of monopolar or bipolar current, in parallel with other techniques labelled as 'second generation' (microwave, radio frequency, thermal destruction ...) treating the uterine cavity.
It seems that the use of the bipolar energy decreases the rate of adhesions but prospective data on the success rate after bipolar endometrial ablation are poor and there is currently no recommendation as to the choice of technique to use. No prospective assessment exists to date in the literature to compare the difference in efficacy on bleedings when using monopolar or bipolar current. The goal of this study is to compare these two energies, by measuring the amount of bleeding calculated by the Higham score 12 months after the intervention.
