Minimally Invasive Surgical Procedures an FDA approvs |
 |
special
tests can be preformed to evaluate your bladder and urethral function.
These tests usually involve placing a catheter into the bladder, which
can measure bladder and urethral activity. Usually stress incontinence
can be diagnosed by symptoms or your doctor observing leakage when
you cough with a full bladder.
an
outpatient procedure that stops urine leakage by supporting your urethra
with a strip of mesh through two tiny incisions just above your pubic
area or near the creases of your thighs. This procedure is minimally
invasive and has a short recovery time (usually return to normal activities
the next day).
is
an outpatient surgical procedure that involves scraping the inside
of the uterus to widen the opening of the cervix. This procedure
is used to treat excessive bleeding. It is only a temporary solution
that reduces bleeding for a few cycles.
an
outpatient surgery preformed in office or at the hospital that involves
putting a small tube through your cervix to derive a piece of endometrial
lining to have biopsies. This procedure is used to evaluate your endometrial
lining to treat abnormal bleeding, heavy periods and infertility evaluations.
an
in office procedure that involves scrapping and biopsies of the
cervix. This procedure is to evaluate an abnormal PAP, to examine
abnormal growths, or exclude the presence of cancer/disease on the
cervix.
a
procedure that allows you to have a direct visualization of the
peritoneal cavity, ovaries, outside of the tubes and uterus by
using a laparoscopy.
a
surgical sterilization procedure for women. This procedure closes
the fallopian tubes, and stops the egg from traveling to the
uterus from the ovary. It also prevents sperm from reaching
the fallopian tube to fertilize an egg. In a tubal ligation,
fallopian tubes are cut, burned, or blocked with rings, bands
or clips. The surgery is effective immediately. Tubal ligations
are 99.5% effective as birth control.
an
FDA approved procedure for permanent sterilization. This is
a minimally invasive surgery that can be treated in most cases
in office under local anesthesia. This treatment is a method
that does not include any incisions. The benefits of this procedure
include low rate of complications, no periods, short recovery
time (usually return to normal activities the next day) and
is 99.80% effective as birth control.
an
inpatient surgery that involves the removal of the uterus, or
womb. This is used to treat fibroids, excessive bleeding, endometriosis,
uterine prolapse and for treatment of some cancers.
a
procedure that removes the uterus and cervix through an incision inside
the vagina and also includes the use of a laparoscope which is inserted
through a tiny incision in the navel and abdomen.
a
procedure that removes the uterus and cervix through an incision inside
the vagina. This method is used to treat uterine-vaginal prolapse
and is also used to treat early cervical or uterine cancer.
a
procedure that removes the uterus and cervix (with or without ovaries
or fallopian tubes) through a large abdominal incision. This is the
most invasive and is used to treat large fibroids, severe endometriosis,
pelvic infections, scarring from prior pelvic surgeries, or some types
of cancer.
a
procedure that removes the uterus, but leaves the cervix intact through
tiny incisions in the navel and abdomen. This is a less invasive procedure
that was developed to reduce pain, damage to other internal organs,
minimize scarring and shorten recovery time.
an
excisioinal procedure for the treatment of abnormal PAP, Cervical
dysplasia and HPV.
