Endometrial Ablation

NovaSure^®

NovaSure® is an outpatient procedure used to treat the lining of the uterus in women experiencing heavy menstrual periods.  Your physician may recommend Novasure when birth control pills have been ineffective or have produced undesirable effects such as weight gain, moodiness, etc.  It is a safe procedure using radiofrequency energy (radio waves) to permanently remove the uterine lining (endometrium). The procedure is performed by your physician gently inserting a thin wand, with a mesh array, into the uterus. Once the mesh has conformed to the uterine wall, a radio frequency is generated for about 90 seconds and the wand with the array is then removed. The uterine lining will be shed over the next week to 10 days. Results have included a significant reduction in menstrual bleeding, stopped periods, reduced PMS symptoms, and reduced pain and cramping.

Note: Pregnancy after any form of endometrial ablation is a rare but possible event and the risk of complications is increased. We do not advise having one of these procedures done unless steps to prevent future pregnancies are in place.

Hysteroscopy

Hysteroscopy is an office or hospital-based procedure that is used to look inside the uterus. It utilizes a hysteroscope, a slender telescope-like device, which is inserted into the uterus. The procedure is commonly used to:

• diagnose or treat uterine problems associated with abnormal bleeding
• to help with the diagnosis of frequent miscarriages
• to locate an intrauterine device
• remove adhesions caused by infection or past surgeries
• perform sterilization procedures
• Women who are pregnant should not have the procedure.

Essure^® Tubal Ligation for Permanent Birth Control

Essure^® Tubal Ligation is a non-surgical procedure that seals off a woman’s fallopian tubes that carry an egg from the ovaries to the uterus. By blocking these tubes, where fertilization usually occurs, sperm is unable to reach the egg to fertilize it. The procedure uses two small metal springs (micro-inserts) that are inserted into the fallopian tubes. This causes scar tissue to form and permanently blocks off the tubes. The procedure is performed in an outpatient environment, takes about 30 minutes, and does not require anesthesia. Patients should be aware that the procedure provides permanent birth control and is NOT reversible.

LEEP (Loop Electrical Excision Procedure)

Loop electrosurgical excision procedure (LEEP) is a common practice used by gynecologists to remove abnormal cells from a patient’s cervix. Women with these abnormal cells may be at risk for serious conditions such as cervical cancer, making LEEP a very important part of the diagnostic and cancer prevention process. This procedure is performed in-office and local local anesthesia is utilized.
