No-Incision Surgery Some of today’s cutting-edge surgical procedures require no cutting at all, and this state-of-the-art option is now available at University Hospitals Geauga Medical Center for families who have finished having children. A no-incision procedure is available as a less-invasive alternative to tubal ligation or vasectomy as a means of permanent sterilization. “A hysteroscopic sterilization involves a small telescope inserted into a woman’s uterus so tiny coils can be implanted in the fallopian tubes to prevent conception,” says Samir Ahuja, M.D., director of gynecologic services at University Hospitals Geauga Medical Center. “It’s a quick outpatient procedure, with minimal risk and recovery time.” For information about minimally invasive and “no-invasive” gynecologic surgery options at Geauga Medical Center, call 440-285-7757.
