Fibroids are tumors on the muscle and connective tissues that grow inside the uterus, within its walls or on its surface. Also known as myomas, these growths are usually benign. Fibroids occur in up to 30 percent of women age 30 or older, and typically grow larger as a woman ages.
Polyps are growths in the lining of the uterus that are very common, and usually benign.
Most fibroids and polyps do not cause symptoms, and do not require treatment. Sometimes, however, fibroids and polyps may cause pelvic pain, abnormal menstrual bleeding and infertility. Bipolar Electrosurgery System is comprised of a slim electrosurgical tool that applies a targeted current to remove unwanted tissue upon contact. To improve a surgeon's ability to visualize the uterus, the uterus is filled and distended with a saline solution. Bipolar Electrosurgery System uses unique technology to remove uterine abnormalities, while preserving the uterus and a woman's ability to have children.
