For Your Women MINIMALLY INVASIVE GYNECOLOGICAL SURGERY FOR YOUR WOMEN MARYANN PREWITT, MD, FACOG MASTER ROBOTIC SURGEON “I am most gratified by collaborating with you to empower your patients to improve their quality of life using minimally invasive technology.” 11970 North Central Expressway, Suite 300 | Dallas, TX 75243 P 972.380.1099 | F 972.380.0955 | www.drprewittmd.com Da Vinci Robotic Surgery ROBOTIC ASSISTED LAPAROSCOPIC HYSTERCTOMY This minimally invasive procedure is the latest in health technology for women facing a hysterectomy. The advantages for the referred patient include: rapid return to work, little to no requirement for narcotics, minimal to no blood loss, and short hospital stay. Other surgical procedures using the Da Vinci system include: ovarian cystectomy, oophorectomy, ectopic pregnancy, endometriosis resection, prolapse, and sacrospinous colpopexy. In contrast to traditional open surgery, the Da Vinci system uses only three or four 8 mm incisions. Also, the patient has the ability to return to work in as little as 4 days, as opposed to standard six to ten weeks recovery. The Da Vinci system features a magnified 3-D, high definition vision system and special wristed instruments that bend and rotate far greater than the human wrist. This allows a surgeon to operate with enhanced vision, precision, dexterity and control. All of which result in a superior patient experience, superior outcome and greater personal satisfaction. ACOG HYSTERECTOMY STATS Abdominal - 66% Vaginal - 22% Laparoscopic - 12% URODYNAMICS Urodynamics is a test to assess female urinary incontinence and lower urinary tract dysfunction. It will provide you and your doctor with an accurate diagnosis. This will help your doctor to advise how your problem should be managed. It is an in-office evaluation of the bladder, recommended for women who suffer from incomplete bladder emptying, urinary leakage, frequent urges or intermittent urine streams. Urinary leakage in women is far more common than believed. 24% of women ages 18-44, 23% of women over age 60, and 50% of nursing home residents all report leakage of some extent. Leakage issues often result in costly pads & diapers, the constant search for restrooms, or women avoiding exercise or being out of the home for long periods of time. All of which can cause embarrassment, depression, and frustration sexually. Your patient is offered an evaluation, behavior modification therapies, kegal vaginal weights, pessaries, medication and surgery if necessary.

  • Hysteroscopy and Endometrial Ablation Using Novasure
    Hysteroscopy and Endometrial Ablation Using Novasure What is a hysteroscopy and endometrial ablation using Novasure? This is a procedure where a doctor uses a thin tube with a tiny camera to look inside the uterus. There are no incisions. Saline solution is used to expand the uterus in order to look at the inside of the uterus. The Novasure device is then used to burn the lining of the uterus. When is this surgery used? To evaluate and or treat diseases of the uterus • Painful periods. • Heavy or irregular vaginal bleeding. How do I prepare for surgery? • Before surgery, a pre-op appointment will be scheduled with your doctor at their office or with a nurse practitioner or physician assistant at Domino Farms. • Depending on your health, we may ask you to see your primary doctor, a specialist, and/or an anesthesiologist to make sure you are healthy for surgery. • The lab work for your surgery must be done at least 3 days before surgery. • Some medications need to be stopped before the surgery. A list of medications will be provided at your pre-operative appointment. • Smoking can affect your surgery and recovery. Smokers may have difficulty breathing during the surgery and tend to heal more slowly after surgery. If you are a smoker, it is best to quit 6-8 weeks before surgery. If you are unable to stop smoking before surgery, your doctor can order a nicotine patch while you are in the hospital.

  • Endometrial Ablation
    PATIENT INFORMATION A publication of Jackson-Madison County General Hospital Surgical Services Endometrial Ablation As an alternative to hysterectomy, your doctor may recommend a procedure called an endometrial ablation. The endometrium is the lining of the uterus. The word ablation means destroy. This surgery eliminates the endometrial lining of the uterus. It is often used in cases of very heavy menstrual bleeding. Because this surgery causes a decrease in the chances of becoming pregnant, it is not recommended for women who still want to have children. The advantage of this procedure is that your recovery time is usually faster than with hysterectomy. Your doctor will use general anesthesia or spinal anesthesia to perform the procedure. He will talk with you about the type of anesthesia that will be used in your case. This surgery can be done in an outpatient setting. During the procedure, a narrow, lighted viewing tube (the size of a pencil) called a hysteroscope is inserted through the vagina and cervix into the uterus. A tiny camera that is attached shows the uterus on a monitor. There are several ways the endometrial lining can be ablated (destroyed). Those methods include laser, radio waves, electrical current, freezing, hot water (balloon), or heated loop. The instruments are inserted through the tube to perform the ablation. Your doctor may also do a laparoscopy at the same time to be sure there are not other conditions that might require treatment or further surgery. In a laparoscopy, a small, lighted scope is used to look at the other organs in the pelvis.

  • Endometrial Ablation
    AQ The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS FAQ134 fSPECIAL PROCEDURES Endometrial Ablation • What is endometrial ablation? • Why is endometrial ablation done? • Who should not have endometrial ablation? • Can I still get pregnant after having endometrial ablation? • What techniques are used to perform endometrial ablation? • What should I expect after the procedure? • What are the risks associated with endometrial ablation? • Glossary What is endometrial ablation? Endometrial ablation destroys a thin layer of the lining of the uterus and stops the menstrual flow in many women. In some women, menstrual bleeding does not stop but is reduced to normal or lighter levels. If ablation does not control heavy bleeding, further treatment or surgery may be required. Why is endometrial ablation done? Endometrial ablation is used to treat many causes of heavy bleeding. In most cases, women with heavy bleeding are treated first with medication. If heavy bleeding cannot be controlled with medication, endometrial ablation may be used. Who should not have endometrial ablation? Endometrial ablation should not be done in women past menopause. It is not recommended for women with certain medical conditions, including the following: • Disorders of the uterus or endometrium • Endometrial hyperplasia • Cancer of the uterus • Recent pregnancy • Current or recent infection of the uterus Can I still get pregnant after having endometrial ablation? Pregnancy is not likely after ablation, but it can happen. If it does, the risk of miscarriage and other problems are greatly increased. If a woman still wants to become pregnant, she should not have this procedure. Women who have endometrial ablation should use birth control until after menopause.

  • Ultrasound-Guided Reoperative Hysteroscopy: Managing Endometrial Ablation Failures

The complications of these procedures Einclude the late onset of recurrent vaginal bleeding, cyclic lower abdominal pain, hematometra and the inability to adequately sample the endometrium in women with postmenopausal bleeding. According to the 2007 ACOG Practice Bulletin, approximately 24% of women treated with endometrial ablation will undergo hysterectomy within 4 years.1 By employing careful cervical dilation, a wide variety of gynecologic resectoscopes, and continuous sonographic guidance it is possible to explore the entire uterine cavity in order to locate areas of sequestered endometrium, adenomyosis, and occult hematometra. Sonographically guided reoperative hysteroscopy offers a minimally invasive technique to avoid hysterectomy in over 60% to 88% of women who experience endometrial ablation failures.2,3 The procedure is adaptable to an office-based setting and offers a very low incidence of operative complications and morbidity. In addition, the technique provides a histologic specimen, which is essential in adequately evaluating the endometrium in postmenopausal women or women at high risk for the development of adenocarcinoma of the endometrium. - 1 - #424 Wortman FINAL Ultrasound-guided Reoperative Hysteroscopy: Managing Endometrial Ablation Failures WORTMAN INTRODUCTION It is well known that of women who Troublesome vaginal bleeding, may undergo EA a significant number will occur months or years following EA and eventually require a hysterectomy.
