a benign fatty tumor usually composed of mature fat cells. They have a special importance in horses, in which the pedunculated tumors in the abdominal cavity uncommonly twist themselves around a loop of small intestine, sometimes just below the pylorus or around the rectum.
Endometrial Ablation. The lining of the uterusâthe endometriumâis shed by bleeding each month during a womanâs menstrual period. Sometimes the bleeding is too much or too long and treatment is needed. If bleeding does not respond to medication, your doctor may suggest endometrial ablation.
The endometrium heals by scarring, which usually reduces or prevents uterine bleeding. Endometrial ablation may be done in an outpatient facility or your doctor's office. The procedure can take up to about 45 minutes. The procedure may be done using a local or spinal anesthesia. And general anesthesia is sometimes used.
