The Accessa procedure is new, cutting edge technology that allows your Gynecologist/Surgeon to specifically target fibroids using ultrasound and radiofrequency technology. A probe is then introduced under laparoscopic visualization and ultrasound and radiofrequency waves are passed into the fibroid, thus shrinking it up to 40% over time. Symptoms such as bleeding and pressure are markedly reduced while allowing the uterus to remain intact in a minimally invasive outpatient procedure. Dr. Williams is only the second physician in the state of Illinois to perform this uterine sparing surgery.
