Federally Funded Study Shows More Women Can Avoid Hysterectomy For Common Problem

"A minimally invasive procedure called endometrial ablation is as effective as hysterectomy in solving a common female complaint called "dysfunctional uterine bleeding" or DUB, according to a new federally-funded study published in the Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology.

The new study, bearing the acronym of StopDUB for "Surgical Treatments Outcomes Project for Dysfunctional Uterine Bleeding," was a multi-center, randomized, controlled trial in the U.S. and Canada involving 237 women at 25 treatment centers.

Founded in 1971, AAGL works to advance the safest and most efficacious diagnostic and therapeutic techniques that afford less invasive treatments for gynecologic conditions through the integration of clinical practice, research, innovation, and dialogue.
