Laparoscopic Supracervical Hysterectomy

LSH is a recent surgical option that uses laparoscopy alone to remove the uterus, but leaves the cervix intact.  During the procedure, a laparoscope and small surgical instruments are inserted through tiny incisions in the navel and abdomen.  Using these instruments, the surgeon is able to carefully separate the uterus from its pelvic connections and from the cervix.  The uterus is then removed through one of the incisions.  LSH is less invasive than traditional “open” hysterectomy and has many advantages.  It was developed to reduce pain and trauma to the body, minimize scarring, and shorten recovery time. 

Novasure Ablation

NovaSure is an endometrial ablation procedure that provides an effective and minimally invasive outpatient alternative to hysterectomy, while avoiding the potential side effects and long term risk of hormone therapy.  NovaSure delivers precisely measured electrical energy via a slender, handheld wand to remove the endometrial lining.  The quick, simple procedure requires no incisions.  It can be performed in our office or an outpatient setting, and generally takes less than 5 minutes, significantly less time than any other endometrial ablation procedure.
