Hysterioscopic and endoscopic surgery
Hysteroscopy
Hysteroscopy is a procedure that allows the inside of the womb to be examined and treated using a thin telescope passed through the cervix — often without any cuts to the abdomen, and frequently as a day case.
Mr Sideris offers:
- Diagnostic hysteroscopy for abnormal bleeding, post-menopausal bleeding or suspected polyps
- Hysteroscopic removal of polyps and fibroids
- Endometrial sampling and assessment
- Insertion of a Mirena (hormonal) coil or other intrauterine devices
Our approach
Diagnose. Treat. Follow up.
Diagnose
Hysteroscopy can be done under general anaesthesia, or awake (outpatient). We offer the first option. This can be applicable in cases of abnormal uterine bleeding, fibroids that protrude into the cavity, polyps etc
Treat
We perform both diagnostic and operative hysteroscopy to remove polyps or fibroids with no scars (trans-cervically). Occasionally in very selected cases or early stage endometrial cancer when family is incomplete, we can consider an endscopic approach until ready for the gold standard treatment (hysterectomy)
Follow up
We follow up throughout to ensure that we have achieved the desired results. This is mutually agreed post treatment.
