Radiofrequency endometrial ablation for the treatment of abnormal uterine bleeding literature review

Abstract

This systematic review aims to evaluate the effectiveness, safety, and acceptability of radiofrequency endometrial ablation (RFA) for the treatment of abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB). The study focuses on the comparison of RFA with other techniques and includes a search in databases such as PubMed and Scopus, as well as Google Scholar. The inclusion criteria were articles that addressed RFA for AUB, presented or synthesized scientific evidence on its efficacy, safety, or patient satisfaction, and did not limit themselves to technical aspects of the procedure. The results showed that RFA is an effective and safe treatment for AUB, with a rapid recovery and reduced need for additional surgery. However, it is associated with side effects such as pelvic pain, infection, and uterine perforation. The study also highlights the importance of considering patient preferences and clinical variability when choosing the best treatment for AU
