Surgeries and Procedures

             

Tubal Sterilization
 

This is a procedure done in the office with little or no discomfort. It is considered both easier and more reliable than a traditional tubal ligation.

 

 

Endometrial Ablation:
 

Bleeding treated with no hormones and no hysterectomy - This is the goal of the Novasure Endometrial Ablation procedure. Generally taking about ninety seconds, the Novasure procedure is well-tolerated and requires minimal analgesia. Please visit the Novasure web-site and call to schedule a consultation.

		Your doctor will slightly dilate the cervix and insert a slender wand through the cervix into the uterus.   The doctor then extends the triangular mesh array through the wand where it expands to conform to the dimensions of the uterine cavity. RF energy is then delivered into the uterus for approximately 90 seconds. The triangular mesh array slowly retracts and the wand is gently removed from the uterus.

Laprascopic Supra-cervical Hysterectomy

1. A hysterectomy done through 4 small abdominal incisions exemplifies the term, Minimally Invasive Surgery. The benefits to a laprascopic approach to your hysterectomy are:

   i. A short hospital stay (generally not longer than 24 hours)
   
   ii. Faster Recovery with most women returning to normal activity in 2 weeks
   
   iii. Less pain medication required than a traditional hysterectomy
