Abstract
The clinician has few medical and surgical options for managing life-t hreatening uterine hemorrhage. Hormone therapy often fails to arrest t he bleeding. Hysterectomy under these emergency circumstances is also not optimal. Emergency endometrial ablation was successful in stopping exsanguinating uterine hemorrhage in three women and may be an import ant alternative in management of this disorder.
