Abstract
Microwave endometrial ablation (MEA™) has evolved from a theoretical technology, through rigorous laboratory and clinical testing to become an effective treatment for heavy menstrual loss, with a sound evidence base. The purpose of this article is to review the scientific basis, clinical research, safety and clinical applications of this endometrial ablative technique.
