To assess the effectiveness of laser endometrial ablation in women with dysfunctional bleeding.<\/jats:p>\n Design. A retrospective analysis of 90 patients.<\/jats:p>\n Setting. Department of Gynaecology, King George Hospital, Barley Lane, Goodmayes, Essex IG3 8YB, U.K.<\/jats:p>\n Subjects. Ninety patients with dysfunctional uterine bleeding who were hysteroscopically suitable for laser endometrial ablation.<\/jats:p>\n Interventions. Endometrial laser ablations using the neodynium\u2010yttrium\u2010garnet laser at 70 watts power output.<\/jats:p>\n Main outcome measures. Patient satisfaction\/dissatisfaction at 6 months follow\u2010up and response to repeat ablation.<\/jats:p>\n Results. A total of 117 procedures were carried out on the 90 patients. There was one suspected perforation which was not confirmed at subsequent hysterectomy and one primary hemorrhage which required tamponade with Foley catheter. There were three cases of fluid overload with no clinical evidence of fluid over\u2010load syndrome. All five major complications occurred in the first six months or \u2018learning phase\u2019 of the study. During this period, there were proportionately more treatment failures after one attempt (52.8% versus 42.6%) than the second six months of the study. Overall. 53.3% of the patients were satisfied with the initial ablation and 73.3% were satisfied after repeat ablations.<\/jats:p>\n Conclusion. Endometrial laser ablation is a major advance in the management of dysfunctional uterine bleeding, especially in patients who would otherwise have had a hysterectomy.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3109\/00016349509013474","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2007,11,13]],"date-time":"2007-11-13T14:11:30Z","timestamp":1194963090000},"page":"619-623","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Laser endometrial ablation with the neodynium: Yttrium\u2010aluminium garnet (Nd\u2010YAG) laser: A review of ninety consecutive patients"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"74","author":[{"given":"Edward","family":"Osei","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Suresh","family":"Tharmaratnam","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Isaac","family":"Opemuyi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Geoffrey","family":"Cochrane","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2011,1,7]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_1_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.5694\/j.1326-5377.1990.tb125382.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0002-9378(85)80067-3"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0002-9378(82)90362-3"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.5694\/j.1326-5377.1991.tb121365.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_6_1","first-page":"305","volume-title":"Progress in obstetrics and gynecology","author":"Lewis B.
