Summary

Objective:
Case report of the hematocervix following thermal balloon ablation.

Design:
Case report.

Settings:
Department of Gynecology and Obstetric, Royal United Hospital in Bath, UK.

Methodology:
Case report of the 46-year-old patient who has been treated in our department due to the hematocervix following thermal balloon ablation. We discuss the etiopathogenesis in the discussion section.

Conclusion:
A cyclical bleeding from the area of the cervix or hematocervix is a rare complication of subtotal hysterectomy. Our case report describes the first reported case following thermal balloon ablation.

KEYWORDS:
thermoablation, thermal balloon ablation, hematocervix
