Overview
At Rhett Women’s Center, we are committed to providing comprehensive gynecological care, including in-house evaluation and surgical planning when needed, performed in our AAAHC-accredited (Quad A) surgery center.
Our providers will walk you through every step of the process, helping you explore all treatment options and alternatives before making any surgical decisions.
Expert, Personalized Care
If surgery is the most appropriate course of action, Dr. Rhett and Dr. Smith will ensure you receive expert, personalized care. Both physicians maintain privileges at East Cooper Regional Medical Center to support continuity of care for procedures that require a hospital setting. Anesthesia is administered by a board-certified anesthesiologist.
Before surgery, you’ll have a dedicated pre-op appointment at our office to review the procedure in detail, complete necessary lab work, and receive prescriptions and instructions. Our team will make sure you feel fully prepared and supported.
Surgical Options
Hysteroscopy with D&C (Dilation and Curettage)
This minimally invasive procedure allows your provider to look inside the uterus using a small camera (hysteroscope) while gently removing tissue from the uterine lining. It is commonly used to evaluate and treat abnormal bleeding, remove polyps, or obtain tissue for further testing. The procedure is typically quick, requires little recovery time, and is performed with your comfort and safety as the top priority.
Hysteroscopy with Endometrial Ablation
Endometrial ablation is a treatment option for women who experience heavy or prolonged menstrual bleeding and are finished with childbearing. Using hysteroscopy for guidance, the uterine lining is treated to reduce or eliminate menstrual flow. Your provider will review your symptoms, goals, and medical history to determine if this option is right for you, and will walk you through what to expect before, during, and after the procedure.
