Hysteroscopic endometrial resection versus laparoscopic supracervical hysterectomy for menorrhagia: a prospective randomized trial
Article Abstract:
Laparoscopic supracervical hysterectomy may be more acceptable to women with excessive uterine bleeding than hysteroscopic endometrial resection, according to a study of 181 women. Hysteroscopic endometrial resection is non-invasive and therefore takes less time. However, laparoscopic supracervical hysterectomy is a less invasive type of hysterectomy that can completely cure a woman's symptoms.
