REPEAT BALLOON ABLATIONS CONTRAINDICATED
Since the endometrial cavity, following any kind of endometrial ablation, is distorted, repeat ablations should not be attempted with Thermablate. Patients requiring further treatment after thermal balloon ablation should be treated medically, by hysteroscopic endometrial resection or hysterectomy. Hysteroscopic resection should be attempted only by experienced hysteroscopists since the complications can be severe.
