Surgery

Surgeries are performed as needed on our patients. We evaluate a number of factors to help advise our patients on all of the options available to them. Surgeries that are routinely performed include: Hysteroscopy, Laparoscopy, Myomectomy, and Tubal Cannulation.

 

Surgeries that are routinely performed include:

  • Hysteroscopy: a non-invasive type of surgery to remove things like endometrial polyps, sub-mucosal fibroids or treat scarring inside the uterus/womb.

  • Laparoscopy: a minimally invasive type of surgery to treat issues affecting the ovaries, uterus, fallopian tubes or pelvis. This includes surgery to treat pelvic scarring, tubal scarring and endometriosis.

  • Myomectomy: a surgery to remove uterine fibroids while preserving a person born with a uterus’ chances to carry children. This can be either hysteroscopy or open surgery, depending on the specific patient case.

  • Tubal Cannulations: a surgical procedure to treat issues associated with proximal tubal occlusion (blockage in the part of the fallopian tubes closest to the womb).

Information about other surgeries:

  • Dr. Duke can assess to see whether your essure needs to be trimmed down.

    *If you have an appointment related to essue tubal ligation, please request that a copy of the operative report for your essure tubal ligation surgery be sent to this office BEFORE the day of your appointment so that Dr. Duke may have adequate information to advise you during your visit with us.

  • Dr. Duke does not currently perform tubal reversal surgeries. This is in part because the results can vary significantly depending on the patient’s medical history, their age and the specific details of how the patient’s tubal ligation was performed. However, Dr. Duke is happy to review your specific case with you and discuss all available options for you to get pregnant.

    If you are a good candidate for tubal reversal surgery, Dr. Duke can make a referral. We advise is that you come in to chat with the Doctor to review if tubal ligation reversal may be your best option. The doctor is very thorough and she can help advise you on all of the options available to you.
