In-Office Surgeries

Our state of the art facilities offer in-office procedures that may have been recommended for you. Following are some explanations of three of the most common ones.

Colposcopy
"Colposcopy is done when a Pap test shows changes that could lead to cancer. Colposcopy is a way of looking at the cervix through a special magnifying device called a colposcope. It shines a light onto the vagina and cervix. A colposcope can enlarge the normal view by 2 - 6 times. This allows the doctor to find problems that cannot be seen by the eye alone. During the procedure, the doctor may see abnormal areas and a biopsy will be done." ACOG

Loop Electrosurgical Excision Procedure (LEEP)
"LEEP is an effective and simple way to treat dysplasia. Cells on the cervix grow and shed all the time. Sometimes these cells change and become abnormal. This may be an early warning that cancer may occur. When tests show that you have abnormal cells on your cervix, your doctor may suggest the LEEP procedure to remove the abnormal cells." ACOG

Hysteroscopy
"Hysteroscopy may be used for diagnosis, treatment, or both. It is a way to look inside the uterus. A hysteroscope is a thin, telescope-like device that is inserted into the uterus through the vagina and cervix. It may help a doctor diagnose or treat a uterine problem." ACOG
