Endometrial resection/vaporization using standard urology instruments offers a patient-friendly first-line treatment for menorrhagia in rural areas, providing an alternative to hysterectomy.

One-sentence paraphrase of the abstract; not a substitute for reading it. No clinical advice. How this works

Abstract

Hysterectomy, a major surgical procedure, is often an unacceptable procedure for many patients from rural areas who attend small rural hospitals. Near total endometrial resection/vaporization is a more acceptable procedure which can control menorrhagia. This procedure can be carried out with standard urology instruments.
