Surgeries and Procedures Offered at Women for Women

There are many different gynecology surgeries and procedures. While most conditions we treat with medicine or changes in lifestyle, sometimes surgeries are required. At Women for Women, the best obgyn in Nassau County, we perform ambulatory and inpatient surgeries. Some of the surgical procedures that we can perform include:

Hysteroscopy
Hysteroscopic Fibroid Removal
Endometrial Ablation
Laparoscopic Hysterectomy
Abdominal Hysterectomy
Myomectomy

Hysteroscopy

Procedure: A thin, lighted tube is inserted into the vagina that allows your doctor to see the cervix and uterus. This is helpful for doctors to be able to diagnose and treat the cause of your abnormal bleeding.
Your doctor might recommend this surgery for many different reasons. One reason would be to aid in the removal of polyps or fibroids or to discover malformation in the uterus. It might also be combined with a laparoscopic procedure or before a D&C (dilation and curettage) procedure.

Laparoscopic Hysterectomy

Procedure: Removing the uterus and/or other structures surrounding the vagina. This is a minimally invasive procedure as it uses small instruments to remove the uterus. The uterus is removed through two to three small incisions in the abdomen. The incisions will leave a few small scars.

Abdominal Hysterectomy

Procedure: The doctor removes the uterus through an opening in the abdomen. Typically, the doctor will start with either a vertical or horizontal incision in the abdomen. Because the incision is quite large, it will likely leave a visible scar, unlike a laparoscopic hysterectomy. Today, this approach is generally avoided due to the less invasive techniques available.

Hysteroscopic Fibroid Removal

Procedure: Through the use of a hysteroscope, doctors will view the uterus to find uterine fibroids. They then remove these fibroids through channels in the scope, as long as they are small enough. Since there are no incisions required for this procedure, patients are generally sent home right after the surgery and do not need much time to recover.

Endometrial Ablation

Procedure: Material from the lining of the uterus is surgically removed. This type of procedure cannot be done if the patient plans on having children in the future.
Your doctor might recommend surgery because of heavy bleeding that lasts for eight days or longer and cannot be controlled by medicine. Another reason will be bleeding between periods and if you have anemia because of your period.

Myomectomy

Procedure: Removing uterine fibroids, which are noncancerous growths in the uterus. These uterine fibroids create heavy bleeding and pelvic pressure. This type of surgery is best for women with fibroids who still want to get pregnant in the future. Unlike a hysterectomy which takes out your entire uterus, a myomectomy leaves the uterus in place. It can be done in three different ways: abdominal myomectomy, laparoscopic myomectomy, and hysteroscopic myomectomy.
Your doctor might recommend surgery because you are experiencing heavy periods or irregular bleeding. You may also have pelvic pain and frequent urination.
