Resection and Rollerball

Recently someone posted that after doing the endometrial resection or myomectomy with the excisional loop that he (she?) does the rollerbar ablation of the base as well.

I have a patient who recently had a H/S myomectomy and resection (+ for adenomyosis) who has had a 1 month post op ep[isode of flooding bleed with near syncope. Her H/H dropped to 9.8/29.0 (my recollection is that she was something close to 12/38 preop).

Do you think if I had done the rollerbar after the resection(s) that would have reduced the likelihood of the 1 month post op bleed (during next menses)?

Thanks!
