Operative Hyteroscopy

Available in Weston, Florida

Operative hysteroscopy is a gynecological procedure that involves the insertion of a thin rod with a lens attached to a camera, called a hysteroscope, into the endometrial cavity. Hysteroscopy allows the gynecologist to visualize the membrane lining of the uterus. Operative hysteroscopy allows both the evaluation and treatment of various intrauterine conditions that cause abnormal uterine bleeding or inhibit embryonic implantation. Through operative hysteroscopy, abnormal intrauterine growths such as fibroids (myomata) or polyps can be removed, congenital uterine defects can be excised, or corrected, and endometrial ablation can be performed to control excessive uterine bleeding and more. Sometimes a dilatation and curettage ("D and C") are performed right after the hysteroscopy, while the patient is still under anesthesia, usually for women with abnormal uterine bleeding.

Dr. Selub is specially trained to perform operative hysteroscopy as a part of the comprehensive fertility treatment services she offers at the Florida Institute for Reproductive Sciences and Technologies.
