Her risk of endometrial CA should be the same (theoretically) as anyone post endometrial ablation. To my knowledge this is small, and I'm not sure if it has ever been reported. If, on hysteroscopy, you can see the tubal ostia, I'd to a tubal ligation. If not, come to think of it, I'd probably do it also, just to be sure.

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.
