Surgery

Sometimes surgery is necessary to treat causes of infertility. At RMA our physicians perform the following surgeries.

Hysteroscopy – A hysteroscopy is a surgical procedure that allows the physician to look at the lining of your uterus by using a tool called a hysteroscope. The tip of the hysteroscope inserted into the vagina and gently moved through the cervix into the uterus. The hysteroscope is equipped with a light and camera so the physician can see the lining (endometrium) on a video screen.

A hysteroscopy is performed to identify if there are any abnormalities in your uterus such as:

• Uterine Fibroids
  
• Polyps
  
• Scarring
  
• Congenital Malformations

Laproscopy – Laparoscopy is a surgical procedure that allows the physician to look at the female pelvic organs. The physician uses a thin, lighted tube through an incision in the belly to look at the female pelvic organs.

A laparoscopy is used to find and treat problems such as:

• Cysts
  
• Endometriosis
  
• Uterine Fibroids
  
• Adhesions
  
• Infection

Myomectomy – A myomectomy is the surgical removal of uterine fibroids. This procedure allows a woman to keep her uterus in tact so she has the potential of reproducing.
