I would do as your propose, but would perform an hysteroscopy as well - while it is doubtful that you will see any lesions, nevertheless, if there is a lesion, a random EBx will most likely miss the lesion, thus prove useless. Of equal interest is the endocervical canal, and hysteroscopy may better provide info, as well as a vigorous fractional D&C.

In other words, normal EBx does not prove anything.

Also, my tolerance for hysterectomy is very low in such patients - I would probably lean towards one: either laparoscopic, LAVH, or TVH.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
