Serving women in Plano, TX, Dr Keith Reisler has decades of experience meeting their specific needs. In addition to his work in pregnancy care and menopause Keith Reisler MD performs a procedure called a hysteroscopic resection. A hysteroscopic resection is a minimally-invasive surgical procedure with benefits absent from other surgeries that fulfill the same purpose.
A hysteroscopic resection, also called a Transcervical Resection of Fibroids (TCRF), is a procedure where the surgeon removes fibroids, growths inside the uterus. An instrument called a hysteroscope removes the fibroids gradually. Inserted into the body through the cervix and offering a visual of the uterus via an attached camera, a TCRF is minimally-invasive because no surgical incisions occur.
To prepare for the TCRF, the patient will undergo an ultrasound, to locate the fibroid. If it is large, the surgeon will remove it in two separate surgeries, spaced between six and eight weeks apart. Performed while under general anesthesia, the patient usually experiences little to no pain and an average recovery time of one or two days.
