Acessa®: A Modern Approach to Fibroid Treatment 

We know that the thought of surgery can be daunting, but Acessa® offers a less invasive alternative to traditional methods like hysterectomy or myomectomy. This innovative, uterine-sparing procedure allows you to treat fibroids effectively while maintaining your quality of life. 

 

What to Expect with Acessa®: 

  • Targeted Treatment: Our specially trained surgeons use controlled heat to precisely target and shrink fibroids, which are then gradually absorbed by your body, similar to how your body deals with any dead tissue. 
  • Minimally Invasive: Acessa® involves just three small incisions, reducing the physical impact on your body and leading to a quicker recovery with less scarring compared to traditional surgical methods. 
  • Precision and Care: Utilizing advanced ultrasound technology, Acessa® allows your doctor to locate and treat fibroids more effectively, including those that might be missed by standard imaging techniques. 
  • Quick Recovery: Since Acessa® is an outpatient procedure, you’ll be able to go home the same day. Most women return to their regular activities within four to five days, making it a convenient option for those with busy lives. 
  • Preservation of Uterine Health: Unlike some other treatments, Acessa® focuses solely on the fibroids, leaving your uterus intact and preserving healthy tissue. This can be especially important for women who are considering future fertility. 
  • It’s important to note that Acessa® may not be suitable for women planning future pregnancies. We encourage you to have an open discussion with your doctor about all your options to determine the best course of action for your health and lifestyle.
