Combining microwave endometrial ablation with hysteroscopic resection for FIGO type 2 uterine leiomyoma

Objective: Heavy menstrual bleeding (HMB) is common in women of reproductive age, and can affect physical health and quality of life. Endometrial ablation (EA) has become one of the most commonly performed gynecologic procedures for HMB. However, leiomyoma with distorted uterine cavity affects efficacy, and especially in FIGO type 2 leiomyoma the surgery is not clearly defined. This study aimed to evaluate the long-term efficacy of EA combined with transcervical resection of uterine leiomyoma (TCRM) for HMB.
