    1 year after NovaSure Endometrial Ablation procedure
  • Number of pregnancies at 3-year time point (3-year pregnancy rate)
    date_rangeTime Frame:
    3 years after NovaSure Endometrial Ablation procedure

Secondary Outcome

  • Number of adverse events (AEs) when NovaSure endometrial ablation was performed in the presence of Essure inserts
