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 risks are infrequent, but potentially serious, and vary depending on the ablation procedure. Some possible risks your doctor may discuss include bleeding in the groin at the catheter puncture sites, damage to the heart or blood vessels, or heart block requiring placement of a pacemaker.
