Endometrial laser intrauterine thermo-therapy (ELITT): a revolutionary new approach to the elimination of menorrhagia

Curr Opin Obstet Gynecol. 1999 Aug;11(4):363-70. doi: 10.1097/00001703-199908000-00002.

Abstract

Various non-hysteroscopic procedures have been developed in the attempt to treat dysfunctional uterine bleeding that fails to respond to medical treatment efficiently and easily. Among these procedures is low-dose laser radiation of the endometrium with the diode source, which is characterized by the highest incidence of amenorrhea.
