Recently, a doctor at Parkview Medical Center performed a procedure that until then had never been done in Colorado.
Dr. Fernando Mahmoud, an OBGYN at Parkview, has performed the first few minimally invasive procedures to treat uterine fibroids, or muscled masses that grow on the outside of a uterus, through a surgery that has become common on the East and West Coast.
The procedure, marketed and known as the brand-name Acessa surgery, known in medical terms as laparascopic radiofrequency ablation, utilizes an ultrasound probe to locate each fibroid and applies controlled heat to the fibroid tissue, destroying it without hurting the uterus. Only two, small incisions are needed to perform the surgery.
