Procedures

Hysteroscopy in which a hysteroscope (a lighted, flexible telescope-like instrument) is inserted into the vagina, through the cervix into the uterus and fallopian tubes in order to diagnose and treat uterine structural abnormalities, including but not limited to: adhesions (scar tissue), polyps, fibroids, and performing biopsies, etc...

Selective Hysterosalpingogram (HSG): a procedure in which a hysteroscope (a lighted, flexible telescope-like instrument) is inserted into the vagina, through the cervix, into the uterus and fallopian tubes. A contrast dye is injected while a series of xrays are taken and projected onto a screen, which is called "fluoroscopy". If the dye spills out of the fallopian tubes and into the pelvis appropriately, the tubes are patent (open). A NaPro HSG is "selective" in that a pressure gauge is used to measure pressure within each of the fallopian tubes. This allows for partial tubal obstructions (PTOs) and distal tubal obstructions (DTOs) to be diagnosed and treated. HSGs done by mainstream medicine ObGyns typically do not use a pressure gauge. Thus, if a PTO or DTO is suspected, the patient is often referred to IVF.

Laparoscopy: is a surgical procedure in which a few thin flexible instruments, including a laparoscope (a flexible thin telescope with a cold light source and a video camera), are inserted through small ~ 1/2-inch incisions made in the abdominal wall in order to view the organs in the abdominopelvic cavity. The removal of ectopic endometrial implants and/or pelvic adhesions will help to optimize fertility and/or to decrease pelvic pain if present. Laparoscopies performed by NaPro surgeons are far superior to those typically performed by mainstream medicine ObGyns. Click the button below to read more about the difference.
