Women now have more choices when faced with the possibility of having a hysterectomy.
High technology is offering more desirable options and some of those alternatives are being showcased here in Chicago. The International Congress of Gynecologic Endoscopy is taking place here at the Fairmont Hotel. A live demonstration of the procedure was broadcast at today's conference. It involves inserting a telescope through the cervix and into the uterus. Once it's there, doctors use an instrument to shave the fibroid down until it breaks up.
