To provide you with the best care possible, the team at Lake OB-GYN Associates of Mid-Florida, LLC performs many minimally invasive surgeries at the office. The in-office procedures include:
Hysteroscopy
The hysteroscopy is a diagnostic procedure that allows your doctor at Lake OB-GYN Associates of Mid-Florida, LLC to evaluate your uterus using a hysteroscope, a lighted telescope-like device. Your doctor would recommend a hysteroscopy to diagnose the underlying cause of your abnormal bleeding or to remove noncancerous growths (polyps or fibroids).
Colposcopy
A colposcopy is a diagnostic procedure that allows your doctor at Lake OB-GYN Associates of Mid-Florida, LLC to evaluate your cervical tissue using a magnifying device called a colposcope. Your doctor would recommend this procedure following an abnormal Pap smear.
Excisional biopsies
To further evaluate your vulvar, vaginal, or cervical tissue, your doctor can perform an excisional biopsy, removing a sample of your tissue, and can be done during your colposcopy.
Cryotherapy
Cryotherapy is a procedure that uses liquid nitrogen to freeze and destroy abnormal cervical tissue.
The team at Lake OB-GYN Associates of Mid-Florida, LLC also performs ultrasounds at the office, which can be used to diagnose a gynecologic condition like fibroids or polyps.
