Westside Women’s Care offers an array of obstetric and gynecologic ultrasound services provided on site for your convenience. Our sonographers are ARDMS, board-certified in obstetrics and gynecology. All of our equipment is state of the art, providing immediate results to our providers that can be discussed with you and your family.

The doctors at Westside Women’s Care are happy to offer a variety of in office surgical procedures including diagnostic and operative hysteroscopy, polypectomy, myomectomy, endometrial ablation, loop electrical excisional procedure (LEEP), as well as other minor procedures. We have anesthesia providers available to come to the office to provide conscious sedation to minimize any pain or discomfort during these procedures.

When medication and non-invasive procedures are unable to relieve symptoms, surgery remains the accepted and most effective treatment for a range of gynecologic conditions. These include, but are not limited to, cervical and uterine cancer, uterine fibroids, endometriosis, uterine prolapse and menorrhagia or excessive bleeding.

With da Vinci Surgery, small incisions are used to introduce miniaturized wristed instruments and a high-definition 3D camera. Seated comfortably at the da Vinci console, your surgeon views a magnified, high-resolution 3D image of the surgical site.

At the same time, state-of-the-art robotic and computer technologies scale, filter and seamlessly translate your surgeon’s hand movements into precise micro-movements of the da Vinci instruments. For more information on this topic, please visit www.davincisurgery.com

About the Acessa® procedure

The Acessa procedure is recommended for pre-menopausal women (typically younger than 55 years old)¹ who are tired of living with the ongoing pain and discomfort of fibroids and are looking for a minimally invasive option that allows them to keep their uterus and return to daily life quickly after the procedure.¹

Clinical Study Results:

• 94% of patients responded that the treatment had been somewhat, moderately, or very effective in eliminating their symptoms.¹
• Only 11% of patients required additional reintervention after the Acessa procedure.¹
• 98% reported that they would probably or definitely recommend the procedure to their friends with the same health problem.¹

The Acessa® procedure is also known as Laparoscopic Radiofrequency Ablation (LAP-RFA) and essentially delivers heat directly into a fibroid to destroy its tissue and in turn relieve your symptoms. It is a minimally invasive treatment for symptomatic fibroids that is an alternative to other procedures, such as hysterectomy and laparoscopic myomectomy. The procedure requires only two surgical operating ports, one in your belly button and one below your bikini line. Post procedure you will wake up in the recovery room and most patients are cleared to go home the same day.¹ Women typically feel ready to return to work after 4-5 days.^1,3 In terms of when you will see symptom relief – it depends on how big the fibroid is and what symptoms you’re experiencing.

Dr. Lindsay Eun performs urodymanic testing at Westside Women’s Care. Urodynamic testing is any procedure that looks at how well parts of the lower urinary tract—the bladder, sphincters, and urethra—work to store and release urine. Most urodynamic tests focus on how well your bladder can hold and empty urine. Urodynamic tests can also show whether your bladder is contracting when it’s not supposed to, causing urine to leak.

Urodynamic tests are used to determine if there are problems with your lower urinary tract. Testing may be recommended if you:

• leak urine
• go to the bathroom frequently
• feel pain while urinating
• feel a sudden, strong urge to use the bathroom
• have trouble starting to urinate
• have problems emptying your bladder completely
• have repeated urinary tract infections
