Alternative Procedure for Hysterectomy Announced

Award-winning Obstetrician and Clinical Professor at USC, announces Alternative Procedure for Hysterectomy

Beverly Hills, CA (PRWEB) March 21, 2006 -- The Beverly Hills Women’s Center has announced a new procedure that can be used in place of the traditional Hysterectomy. This new procedure is called Endometrial Ablation, and is for women who experience abnormal or excessive bleeding or severe pain during their period.

Dr. B. Kaye Kashanchi, Board Certified Obstetrician Gynecologist and Clinical Professor at the Department of OB/GYN at the University of Southern California School of Medicine (USC), who was named one of the top Obstetricians and Gynecologists by Consumer’s Research Council of America, has pioneered the latest advancements in gynecological procedures. While many doctors are using traditional, dated procedures, Dr. Kashanchi is using the latest research and most effective, modern techniques to get the same, or better, results.

Endometrial Ablation is less invasive and has a lower risk of side effects. Compared to a traditional Hysterectomy, there is less bleeding, less pain for the patient, and a much shorter recovery time. The patient can go home the same day and there is less risk of surgical complications. For the insurance company, the procedure costs less and achieves the same result.

And finally, the woman does not lose her uterus.

The outpatient procedure is performed in a sterile, comfortable surgical facility; local, regional or general anesthesia is used, depending on the patient. The minor procedure takes about ½ an hour.

Several of Dr. Kashanchi’s patients who have elected the procedure are available for either print or video interviews. For more information, please visit: www.obgyn911.com
