J Minim Invasive Gynecol. 2007 Nov-Dec;14(6):767-9. doi: 10.1016/j.jmig.2007.06.006.

Abstract

We report the successful treatment of a 40-year-old woman with ongoing cyclical vaginal bleeding lasting 10 days after laparoscopic subtotal hysterectomy. Hysteroscopic vaporization of the endometrial stripe in the cervical stump was performed in an office setting, using a 5-mm Bettocchi double-channel operative hysteroscope armed with a bipolar electrode.
