During a laparoscopy, your surgeon performs your procedure using a laparoscope (surgical camera) and special surgical instruments inserted into your abdominal area through small incisions.
Endometrial ablation
During an endometrial ablation, your OB/GYN at Advanced Obstetrics & Gynecology, LLC, ablates the lining of your uterus to stop heavy menstrual bleeding using a special tool.
