Abstract
Hysteroscopic ablatio endometrii, a procedure established in gynaecology as a result of the general trend to minimal invasive surgery, is clinically not very satisfactory. A new procedure, namely, transvaginal pelviscopically monitored cervix/cavum uteri fundus punch via C*U*R*T* (Calibrated Uterine Resection Tool) enables removal of the total endothelium from the uterus. TUMM (total uterine mucosa ablation) is a synthesis of pelviscopy, excoriation by conisation, and ablatio. This procedure may be considered as the presently optimal method to avoid hysterectomy in case of special indications.Mesh:
