Abstract
Techniques for the treatment of menorrhagia have changed rapidly over the last few years. The enthusiastic introduction by a small number of protagonists of a variety of ablation/resection techniques has been followed by an exponential uptake in their use. At the same time there has been a period of critical appraisal by the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists and the British Society for Gynaecological Endoscopy. The MISTLETOE Survey was the culmination of this association and has provided useful large data sets of the various techniques under evaluation. It is expected that recommendations concerning; the training of potential operators; various practical aspects of the surgical, medical and anaesthetic techniques required to undertake the procedures safely; types and frequencies of complications of the procedures, and success rates following the widespread use of these procedures will be made available following analysis of the data sets.
