Rupture with bowel injury. While it is relatively fail safe the pressure check can fail. It actually says that on the labeling. However, I still like the device. Has anyone had experience with the HTA (hot water thermal ablation) I am going to try that one at the end of the month. It is safe with Essure and I like the idea of being able to watch the ablation, tape the procedure and even direct the stream to make sure of cornual applicaiton

Hi Richard I like it too and have used it for about 3 years and about 18 months in the office. Any idea what the deaths were due to? Embolism etc???

I like it; it is easy to use both in the hospital and the office (where the reimbursement is usually 3-4 times greater.) However there have been deaths associated with it.alas nothing is perfect

Does anyone have any experience with using Novasure? Our hospital does not have an endometrial ablation device at all (short of roller ball) and I met with the Novasure rep today. It looks easy enough to do, but my experience with Thermachoice as the only other ablation device I've used is that it didn't give very good results. I would like any information anyone has regarding hospital use, office use, and followup.

Thanks,

Glen
