Essure

If you are sure you don't want anymore children and are tired of using temporary birth control, Essure was created for you.

What is Essure?  The Essure procedure is a sterilization procedure for women.  Essure is inserted vaginally by a trained gynecologist using a visually guided method called hysteroscopy.  A micro-insert is placed in each fallopian tube, where the body and the micro-insert work together to form a biological blockage that prevents sperm from reaching the egg.

Unlike tubal ligation (having your tubes tied) or vasectomy, the Essure procedure requires no incisions and is typically done without general anesthesia.  In clinical trials, the average time spent using a hysterscope to place micro-inserts into the fallopian tube was 15 minutes.  The total procedure time was about 30 minutes, and most women were able to leave the facility 45 minutes after the procedure.

The Essure procedure is designed to provide permanent birth control and is not expected to be reversible, so be sure that permanent birth control is the right decision for you.

T.O.T. Sling - An Effective Solution for Urinary Stress Incontinence

Approximately 85% of all women in childbearing years and beyond experience some degree of stress urinary incontinence.  This leakage, which often occurs with coughing, laughing, sneezing, running or jumping is not only embarrasing but also tends to prohibit many activities of today's active woman.

The new T.O.T. is inserted vaginally in a ten minute outpatient surgery.  Patients generally leave the outpatient facility in a few hours.

Several improvements in the procedure and the technology indicate that the T.O.T. sling is the method of choice.

The new T.O.T. sling is attached underneath the pubic bone.  After approximately 90 days of healing and the formation of supportive scar tissue, the central portion of the T.O.T. will have dissolved into the body.
