“…In this study, the high rate of amenorrhea with the Novasure system is consistent with previous studies compared to the Thermablate group [4,[7][8][9]. Although if we stated that the combined symptoms of amenorrhea and a lighter menstrual period concluded a satisfied patient, the two groups had comparable rate.…”

“…They found at 12-month follow up there was a higher rate of amenorrhea in those who had had bipolar radiofrequency or microwave ablation compared to thermal ablation but there was no convincing evidence between the three techniques in the number of women who were dissatisfied or still experiencing heavy menstrual bleeding. In a randomized controlled trial (RCT) of 65 women, Penninx et al [7] explored the 5-year outcomes following bipolar radiofrequency impedance-controlled ablation (NovaSure) and hydrothermablation (Hydro Thermablator System) [7]. As compared to our study, the amenorrhea rate is similar at 63.4% and theirs at 55% for Novasure and 28.6% and 35.4% for thermal ablation.…”
