Despite the advent of global ablation devices, rollerball endometrial ablation remains the gold standard for the permanent treatment of abnormal uterine bleeding. It is done under direct vision, and provides both diagnostic and therapeutic intervention for abnormal uterine bleeding.

The module contains 4 different virtual patients with varying shapes of uterine cavities. Endometrial ablation with the rollerball is an ideal exercise to gain practice in electrosurgery in all positions and in the entire uterus.

Performance review provides feedback on a visual overview of the coagulated uterine surface, intervention ergonomics (intervention time, camera path), and intervention safety measures.

Objectives:

• To inspect the cavity completely and to describe visible pathologies
• To use the rollerball in a systematic way to ablate the complete endometrial surface, while not ablating the endocervix
• To do a safety inspection at the end of the procedure
