Hysteroscopic myomectomy involves inserting a thin lighted viewing instrument (hysteroscope) through the vagina and the cervix into the uterus. This instrument then allows the doctor to view the fibroid to remove it through the vagina.
Hysteroscopic sterilization is a type of tubal sterilization procedure that uses the body's natural openings to place small implants into the fallopian tubes. These implants cause tissue growth that blocks the tubes. No surgical incision is needed.
This procedure is used to treat abdominal and chronic pelvic pain caused by adhesions. Adhesions are scars that form within the body, typically after surgery, as part of the healing process.
Robot-assisted gynecologic (GYN) surgery is when the surgeon uses a robotic platform to perform a hysterectomy, myomectomy, or prolapse surgery in a minimally invasive manner.
A minimally invasive procedure that treats fibroids in the uterus which are causing heavy menstrual bleeding, pain, and pressure on the bladder or bowel. Using fluoroscopy, which is real-time x-ray, a doctor inserts medication into the uterus and fibroids that will block the arteries providing blood to the fibroids. This stops them from growing and causes them to shrink.
