The rep mentioned the folks doing it most often in Seattle (her other territory) were using Valium, Vicodin and a shot of Toradol taken and given on arrival to the office. 30 minutes later a generous paracervical block with 40ml total of lidocaine was given and 15 minutes later the procedure was started. She thinks it takes an average of about an hour per patient.Are you getting the amenorrhea rates they claim?Glen

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.
