Gynecological Surgery

A dedicated unit providing skilled surgical services and special post-operative care for women.

 

Uterine Fibroid Embolization (UFE)

This treatment utilizes interventional radiology. A subspecialty that allows specially-trained radiologists to see inside the body while guiding catheters and other instruments through blood vessels and other pathways of the body to perform minimally invasive procedures. UFE—the removal of non-cancerous growths from the uterus—often eliminates the need for hysterectomies. In general, techniques such as this tend to be less costly and less traumatic for the patient. They also involve small incisions, less pain and shorter hospital stays. For more information on UFE and other interventional radiology procedures click here.
