Abstract
Hysteroscopic endometrial ablation is increasingly accepted as a safe means of controlling excessive uterine bleeding. A 47-year-old woman underwent endometrial resection and ablation for menorrhagia and subsequently developed pyometra and bacteremia. Placement of an intrauterine drain and intravenous antibiotic therapy led to full recovery. Postoperative pyometra occurred after endometrial resection and ablation, a procedure reported to have few complications. To our knowledge, this has not been reported before.
