Guest guest Posted April 9, 2004 Report Share Posted April 9, 2004 Hi Deborah, I am sending you info.taken from the links listed below which go into much greater detail about the various procedures available to us, but hope that this will help to answer your immediate questions: " Operative Hysteroscopy: In this procedure, the cervix is dilated, which requires either a local or general anesthetic. A scope called a hysteroscope is inserted up through the vagina and cervix into the uterine cavity. It contains tiny surgical instruments as well as a mini-camera and light source to view images of the uterus, which are transmitted to a video monitor. This approach is becoming increasingly common.A hysteroscopic myomectomy may be used for submucous fibroids found in the uterine cavity. With this procedure, fibroids are removed using an instrument called a hysteroscopic resectoscope, which is passed up into the uterine cavity through the vagina and cervical canal. A wire loop carrying electrical current is then used to shave off the fibroid " " A resection is the removal of fibroids, using a resectoscope; a resectoscope is a hysteroscope with a built in wire loop (or other shaped device) that uses high-frequency electrical current to cut or coagulate tissue. It is considered a less invasive procedure. " Good luck & hope these links help clarify more for you!

Guest guest Posted April 10, 2004 Report Share Posted April 10, 2004 My frist resection was done on a 5 cc firbord blocking the tubes. How ever what you must know about resection is the shave down the firbord do not relly get rid of it and with in mouths my 5 cm firbord grew back in the same place to 7 cm tryed another resection. Resection is a easy in that day out that day pordudire. My frist one did have pain but was better by day two. I wish i could say the same about the last one.

My doctor was able to completly remove my fibroid. It was on a stalk which made it easier. It is true that if the fibroid is embedded in the wall that the doctor may only be able to shave it off and you may need a 2nd resection.
