Uterine Fibroids Adhesions | Device: Intrauterine ultrasound guided radio-frequency ablation |
Patients who agree to participate in this observational trial will have selected fibroid treatment with the Sonata System. Research participants will undergo hysteroscopy at 6 weeks following treatment to evaluate presence or absence of intrauterine adhesions.
Research participants will be asked to complete a quality of life questionnaire prior to and 6 weeks following treatment. Research participants will also complete a satisfaction survey and a diary that tracks their return to normal daily activities.

- Number of Participants With Absence of Newly Formed Intrauterine Adhesions Following RF Ablation of Fibroids [ Time Frame: 6 weeks ]Hysteroscopic evaluation by independent readers to determine the presence or absence of adhesions following transcervical RF ablation of fibroids with the Sonata system in participants who completed the follow-up assessment AND evaluable hysteroscopy videos.
- Umber of Participants With Absence of Newly Formed Adhesions Following RF Ablation of Fibroids in Participants With Apposing Fibroids Treated [ Time Frame: 6 weeks ]As the risk of adhesion formation is higher when apposing fibroids are treated, this outcome measure assesses adhesiogenesis in the subgroup of the population who completed the follow-up assessment, had evaluable hysteroscopy videos, and had apposing fibroids treated.
