As an alternative to the bustle of a hospital surgical center, Gemini OBGYN in Pembroke Pines and Weston, Florida, offers a range of surgeries performed in our office suites. Many common gynecological procedures don’t need the entire range of resources that hospitals provide, and many patients prefer the calm and quiet of in-office procedures. Call today to book your appointment.
Office-based surgery represents a shift in service site for treatment, providing savings for the healthcare system, increased patient comfort, and improved time management and convenience for doctors. Many gynecological procedures are typically safe, since many are minimally invasive to begin with, and have long histories of practice, providing a broad base of practical experience. These lend themselves naturally to the surgical office environment.
Dilation and curettage (D&C): This procedure removes tissue from the inside of the uterus. Occasionally, it’s used to treat heavy menstrual bleeding, as well as clearing the uterine lining after an abortion or miscarriage. The cervix is widened with medication or small instruments, and a instrument called a curette removes uterine tissue.
Hysteroscopy: Using a thin instrument with a lighted end, called a hysteroscope, your Gemini OBGYN caregiver can visually check the inside of the uterus to check for issues such as abnormal cells or fibroids.
Radiofrequency endometrial ablation: For patients who no longer desire future pregnancies, but still experiencing problems with heavier than average menstrual bleeding, endometrial ablation typically treats the condition. Gemini OBGYN uses the NovaSure® radiofrequency device. Inserted into the uterus, the NovaSure extends a flexible net that forms to the shape of the patient’s uterus. A short burst of low-energy radio waves destroy the lining of the uterus to stop the heavy bleeding.
