Post-Ablation Cavity Evaluation (PACE): A Prospective, Multi-center, Observational Clinical Study to Evaluate Hysteroscopic Access to the Uterine Cavity Four Years After Water Vapor Endometrial Ablation for the Treatment of Heavy Menstrual Bleeding

Patients who have undergone endometrial ablation may present a diagnostic challenge when they present years later for vaginal bleeding, pelvic pain or postmenopausal bleeding. Extensive scarring of the uterine cavity often precludes evaluation and/or conservative treatment. To further research this topic, we performed a hysteroscopic examination a mean 4 years after study subjects had undergone water vapor endometrial ablation.
